Lyrics The World In Her Arms - The Lilac Time

The World In Her Arms

The fear of God or the fear of fear
That keeps me loving and keeps me here
Arms at the spirit keep me high
A flame in my heart that will not die
And we do it
Do it
Do it for love
I love the soil speed the plough
A distant trumpet calls me now
The brother country and sister sun
A world in her arms has just begun
And we do it
Do it
Do it for love
Build me a house with a flat roof
And I will lounge away my youth
Paradise Alley I’ll see you there
Till time on the high wire will make us care
And we do it
Do it
Do it for love
What can’t be cured must be endured
But what can be must be
And time remembered is grief forgotten
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten
And we do it
Do it
Do it for love
Sunlight, moonlight, do it for love…
