Quiet Joys of Brotherhood (Take 1) lyrics

[Verse 1]
As gentle tides go rolling by
Along the salt sea strand
The colours blend and roll as one
Together in the sand
And often do the winds entwine
Do send their distant call
The quiet joys of brotherhood
And love is lord of all

[Verse 2]
The oak and weed together rise
Along the common ground
The mare and stallion, light and dark
Have thunder in their sound
The rainbow sign, the blended flower
They still have my heart in thrall
The quiet joys of brotherhood
And love is lord of all

[Verse 3]
But men have come to plough the tide
And the oak lies on the ground
I hear their fires in the fields
They drive the stallion down
The roses bleed both light and dark
And the winds do seldom call
The running sands recall the time
When love was lord of all
[Instrumental Outro]
