A Song for David Lyrics by Joan Baez

0

In my heart I will wait
By the stony gate
And the little one
In my arms will sleep
Every rising of the moon
Makes the years grow late
And the love in our hearts will keep
There are friends I will make
And bonds I will break
As the seasons roll by
And we build our own sky
In my heart I will wait
By the stony gate
And the little one
In my arms will sleep
And the stars in your sky
Are the stars in mine
And both prisoners
Of this life are we
Through the same troubled waters
We carry our time
You and the convicts and me
There's a good thing to know
On the outside or in
To answer not where
But just who I am
Because the stars in your sky
Are the stars in mine
And both prisoners
Of this life are we
And the hills that you know
Will remain for you
And the little willow green
Will stand firm
The flowers that we planted
Through the seasons past
Will all bloom
On the day you return
To a baby at play
All a mother can say
He'll return on the wind
To our hearts, and till then
I will sit and I'll wait
By the stony gate
And the little one
'neath the trees will dance
