The Lost Children (Live / 1996 Remastered) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot/Elliot Mazer[00:00:01]
Down the hall their voices ring[00:00:11]
Their feet are on the run[00:00:13]
Phantoms on the winter sky[00:00:17]
Together they do come[00:00:18]
Faded lips and eyes of blue[00:00:22]
They're carried in the wind[00:00:24]
Their laughter filled[00:00:27]
The countryside but they'll not laugh again[00:00:28]
All the games are ended now[00:00:39]
Their voices have been stilled[00:00:41]
Their fathers built the tools[00:00:44]
Of war by which they all were killed[00:00:46]
Their mothers made the uniforms[00:00:50]
Showing which side they were on[00:00:51]
And the young boys were the middle[00:00:55]
Men for the guns to prey upon[00:00:57]
You've seen the fires in the night[00:01:07]
Watched the devil as he smiles[00:01:09]
You've heard a mother's mournful cry[00:01:12]
As she searches for her child[00:01:14]
You've seen the lines of refugees[00:01:17]
The faces of despair[00:01:19]
And wondered at the wise men[00:01:22]
Who never seem to care[00:01:25]
Goodbye you lost children[00:01:34]
God speed you on your way[00:01:36]
Your little beds are empty now[00:01:40]
Your toys are put away[00:01:42]
Your mother sings a lullaby as[00:01:45]
She gazes at the floor[00:01:47]
Your father builds more weapons[00:01:50]
And marches out once more[00:01:52]
Down the hall their voices ring[00:02:05]
Their feet are on the run[00:02:06]
Phantoms on the winter sky[00:02:10]
Together they do come[00:02:11]
Faded lips and eyes of blue[00:02:15]
They're carried in the wind[00:02:17]
Their laughter filled[00:02:20]
The countryside but they'll not laugh again[00:02:21]
