La Colombe (LP Version) - Judy Collins[00:00:04]

Why all these bugles crying[00:00:23]

For squads of young men drilled[00:00:26]

To kill and to be killed and waiting by this train[00:00:30]

Why the orders loud and hoarse[00:00:38]

Why the engine's groaning cough[00:00:42]

As it strains to drag us off into the holocaust[00:00:46]

Why crowds who sing and cry[00:00:54]

And shout and fling us flowers[00:00:58]

And trade their right for ours[00:01:02]

To murder and to die[00:01:06]

The dove has torn her wings so no more songs of love[00:01:09]

We are not here to sing[00:01:18]

We're here to kill the dove[00:01:21]

Why has this moment come[00:01:28]

When childhood has to die[00:01:31]

When hope shrinks to a sigh[00:01:35]

And speech into a drum[00:01:40]

Why are they pale and still[00:01:44]

Young boys trained overnight[00:01:48]

Conscripts forced to fight and dressed in gray to kill[00:01:52]

These rain clouds massing tight[00:02:00]

This train load battle bound[00:02:04]

This moving burial ground[00:02:07]

Sent thundering toward the night[00:02:11]

The dove has torn her wings so no more songs of love[00:02:15]

We are not here to sing[00:02:25]

We're here to kill the dove[00:02:27]

Why statues towering brave above the last defeat[00:02:35]

Old word and lies repeat[00:02:42]

Across the new made grave[00:02:47]

Why the same still birth[00:02:51]

That victory always brought[00:02:54]

These hoards of glory bought[00:02:58]

By men with mouths of earth[00:03:02]

Dead ash without a spark[00:03:07]

Where cities glittered bright[00:03:11]

For guns probe every light[00:03:15]

And crush it in the dark[00:03:18]

The dove has torn her wings so no more songs of love[00:03:22]

We are not here to sing[00:03:32]

We're here to kill the dove[00:03:35]

And why your face undone[00:03:42]

With jagged lines of tears[00:03:47]

That gave in those first years all peace I ever won[00:03:50]

Your body in the gloom[00:03:59]

The platform fading back[00:04:02]

Your shadow on the track[00:04:07]

A flower on a tomb[00:04:11]

And why these days ahead[00:04:15]

When I must let you cry[00:04:19]

And live prepared to die[00:04:23]

As if our love were dead[00:04:27]

The dove has torn her wings so no more songs of love[00:04:31]

We are not here to sing[00:04:41]

We're here to kill the dove[00:04:45]
