time will end all sorrow

the campfires have been lit along the river

you wouldn't know of trouble anywhere

someone is playing a concertina

some old familiar air

it takes me back into another lifetime

before we ever fought in fields of mud

where lives like autumn leaves are tossed and scattered

and lost in the swirling flood

but how a song can heal a weary heart

and bring you closer to me where i lie

a song can heal a weary heart

time will end all sorrow by and by

the moon is laying soft upon the water

smoke comes drifting gently from the hill

they tell us that this war will soon be over

maybe in another lifetime it will

but how a song can heal a weary heart

and bring you closer to me where i lie

a song can heal a weary heart

time will end all sorrow by and by

time will end all sorrow by and by
