Children Of Darkness - Mimi And Richard Farina

Now is the time for your loving dear

And the time for your company

Now when the light of reason fails

And fires burn on the sea

Now in this age of confusion

I have need for your company

For I am a wild and a lonely child

And the child of an angry man

Now with the high wars raging

I would offer you my hand

For we are the children of darkness

And the prey of a proud proud land

It's once I was free to go roaming in

The wind of the springtime mind

It's once the clouds I sailed upon

Were sweet as lilac wine

So why are the breezes of summer dear

Enlaced with a grim design

And where was the will of my father when

We raised our swords on high

And where was my mother's wailing when

Our flags were justified

And where will we take our pleasures when

Our bodies have been denied

Now is the time for your loving dear

And the time for your company

Now when the light of reason fails

And fires burn on the sea

Now in this age of confusion

I have need for your company
