Ballad Of The Broken Few

It comes to me across the years

A tune from long ago

A well loved song, a wistful air, the one that she loves so

We'd hear it on those sunny days

From the bird perched at his post

Barring forth his light and joyful tones, from note to purest note

I said, "Hey, come together"

Under the nightingales soaring tune

Here we will all remember her in the ballad of the broken few

We little guessed but changes meant

Had sorrows up ahead

How soon those fine and care free days will turn to doom and dread

And though the years went drifting on

An age it passed us by

No smile or verse could half compare to her last fermenting line

I said, "Hey, come together"

Under the nightingales soaring tune

Here we will all remember her in the ballad of the broken few

Now all alone I rest my time

In the muted melody

No deep refrain could ease my pain or replace such harmony

I said, "Hey, come together"

Under the nightingales soaring tune

Here we will all remember her in the ballad of the broken few

I said, "Hey, come together"

Under the nightingales soaring tune

Here we will all remember her in the ballad of the broken few

I said, "Hey, come together"

Under the nightingales soaring tune

Here we will all remember her in the ballad of the broken few
