Bread and Wine |
| Say we’re here to reclaim our past |
| Though we knew it couldn’t last |
| Our pathetic attempt to fashion this place |
| To our own, alien ways |
| Say we’re here to watch our homes |
| Be buried by a hail of stones |
| Assume it all |
| And let’s drink to our fall |
| Oh, friends, let us drink to this memory so fine |
| For not all is lost when there is still bread and wine |
| And then we slip back |
| I am I, you are you |
| And the life we knew, we loved so much |
| Is here, unblemished, untouched |
| And waiting for that hail of stones |
| We’ll meet our fate at home |
| As men turn to mice |
| With the closing of the vice |
| Oh, friends, let us drink to this memory so fine |
| For not all is lost when there is still bread and wine |
| Oh, how we’ll miss your green and gold |
| The tinkling of your streams |
| The majesty of your storms |
| The sounds of your evening doves |
| Your harvest sun warm on our skin |
| The scent of your hot cotton |
| Your leopards in the sun |
