If wishful thought could bridge

Between what is, what is, what is

D A G
If you could hold the frozen flow of New Hope Creek
D A G
And hide out from the one they said you might meet
A G
If you could unlearn all the words
A G
That you never wanted heard
A G
If you could stall the southern wind
A
That's whistling in your ear
G D A G
You could take what is, what is, what is
G
To what can never be

One man of sventy whispers free at last
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
D
Five burned with tyres
A
Six men still alive
G
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
D
The Gulf

of Araby
We would plough and part the earth to bring you home
We would harvest every miracle ever known
If they laid out all the things
That these ten years want to bring
We would gladly give them up
To bring you back to us
O, there is nothing wewould not give
To kiss you and believe we can take what is, what is, what is
To what can never be
One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
Five, on my life
Six, I'm dead inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
The Gulf Of Araby
