The World In Her Arms

Lilac Time · Compendium - The Fontana Trinity [2001]

The fear of God or the fear of fear

That keeps me loving and keeps me here

Arms at the spirit, keep me high

A flame in my heart that will not die



And we do it, do it

Do it for love



I love the soil, speed the plough

A distant trumpet calls me now

The brother country and sister sun

A world in her arms has just begun



And we do it, do it

Do it for love



Build me a house with a flat roof

And I will lounge away my youth

Paradise Alley, I'll see you there

Till time on the high wire will make us care



And we do it, do it

Do it for love



What can't be cured must be endured

But what can be must be

And time remembered is grief forgotten

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten



And we do it, do it

Do it for love



Sunlight, moonlight, do it for love
