Lines of Love
I wrote these lines of love, my dear,
Before the cold days of the war.
When you were near, so near, my dear;
When I was close, so close, to here,
And no one knew what lay in store.
Now all these lines have chilled, my dear,
Though love remains, strong as before.
Now you are far, so far, my dear,
While I am shivering with fear;
And all we can expect is more.

If Only
If only we could get along
As neighbours, lovers and as friends;
To learn to sing each other’s songs,
And join hands as the world intends.
Some obstacle stands in the way
Of life in harmony and peace;
The children of all nations play,
But come adulthood this will cease.
For once toy guns and catapults
Are swapped for a more strong-armed state,

The sweaty boy lay on the beach;
‘You stink’, his girlfriend said.

But now he has left, she sits, immobile,
And when she moves, she spreads herself too thin,
Her cascade of tears moistening the street;
Bereft of all sympathy, exc...

Last night, through the window
Last Night, through the Window
Last night, through the window,
I heard a train;
But I am far from the railway.
Last night, through the window,
I heard a plane;

Last night, through the window,
I heard an owl;
But I am far from the woods.
