John & Mary & The Valkyries The Gift Of Life


Beginning in the time of summer
Tiny songbirds soar the sky
A ray of sunlight at the garden's end

We've been alive alone forever
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, it's true
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, so tell me

That tears will find a way of drying
And nothing comes to those who wait
Time is watching from the shadows

(Hey...)
We've been alive alone forever
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, it's true
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, so tell me

Walk by a parish orphan's home
See what it's like to be alone

Oh, we've been alive alone forever
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, it's true
(Hey...)
We've been alive alone, so tell me

I sat til dawn in the blinding snow
I found my way and I turned back home
Far and away the toil and strife
A ray of hope, the gift of life
I saw a rocking horse ablaze
And chose to treasure my waning days

(Ooh, hey...)
'Cause we've been alive alone, so tell me...
