lyrics

Limestone Song

Bring back the sun when leaves have softly fallen;
When all our bones have been laid unto waste.
Bring back the wind when mourning doves are calling;
Beneath the stones we leave not a trace.

Bring back the bells when there is only silence,
When all our songs have been lost on the air.
Let every bud and blossoming of violence
Wilt on the vine and whither with a prayer.

But on this morning
Make gentle things forsake the earth.
Send out a warning
For every seed to quit its birth.

Bring back this day when histories ignore us,
When every map makes no mark for this place—
The men who cut our children down before us
Walk through the world, the sun upon their face.
