John & Mary Two Worlds Parted
Dancing around the public square
Red stars shooting everywhere
No clouds to grey the morning sky
Our tears will find a way to dry
Once locked, now open over there
Two worlds once parted:
There, now sewn together
with the past behind us.
Red guards pray will disappear
All our long journeys ended here
Starlings can swarm back to the nest
Now all our minds can be at rest
Once locked, now open over there
Two worlds once parted:
There, now sewn together
with the past behind us.
Woke up the day to something new
Hung in the sky Chautauqua moon
Box trees bloom from lifeless stone
Families that left are coming home.
Once locked, now open over there
Two worlds once parted:
There, now sewn together
with the past behind us.
