The Lost Children(Live)-Gordon Lightfoot

[00:11.37]Down the hall their voices ring their feet are on the run [00:16.70]Phantoms on the winter sky together they do come [00:22.08]Faded lips and eyes of blue they're carried in the wind [00:27.05]Their laughter filled the countryside [00:28.95]But they'll not laugh again [00:31.34] [00:39.49]All the games are ended now their voices have been stilled [00:44.34]Their fathers built the tools of war [00:46.32]By which they all were killed [00:49.61]Their fathers made the uniforms [00:51.49]Showing which side they were on [00:54.79]And the young boys were the middle men [00:56.81]For the guns to prey upon [00:59.13] [01:06.77]You've seen the fires in the night [01:08.57]Watched the devil as he smiles [01:12.05]You've heard a mother's mournful cry [01:14.01]As she searches for her child [01:17.33]You've seen the lines of refugees the faces of despair [01:22.48]And wondered at the wise men [01:24.42]Who never seem to care [01:27.61] [01:34.39]Goodbye you lost children god speed you on your way [01:39.68]Your little beds are empty now your toys are put away [01:45.03]Your mother sings a lullaby as she gazes at the floor [01:50.15]Your father builds more weapons [01:52.05]And marches out once more [01:54.46] [02:04.59]Down the hall their voices ring their feet are on the run [02:09.74]Phantoms on the winter sky together they do come [02:15.05]Faded lips and eyes of blue they're carried in the wind [02:19.98]Their laughter filled the countryside [02:22.08]But they'll not laugh again [02:25.01]
