Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood
(Richard Farina / Sandy Denny)


Where gentle tides go rolling by
Along the salt sea strand
The colors blend and roll as one
Together in the sand
And often do the winds entwine
To send that distant call
The quiet joys of brotherhood
When love was lord of all

Where oat and wheat together rise
Along the common ground
The mare and stallion the light and dark
Have thunder in their sound
The rainbow sign the blended flood
Still has my heart enthralled
The quiet joy of brotherhood
When love was lord of all

Now men have come to plow the tide
The oat lies on the ground
I hear their fires in the field
They drive the stallion down
The roses bleed both the light and dark
The winds do seldom call
The running sands recall the time
When love was lord of all
