lyrics

LET THERE BE A PLACE

All’s quiet in the dead of night
Everything’s come at last
We’ve learnt to recognise the signs
Dark days and an icy wind
Blows the candle out
And the well of hope is running dry

Oh lord let there be a place
Sweet child let there be a place
Oh love let there be a place for gold

All along the shoreline
The guards are running home
Every one of them once had a dream
all eyes on the second man, waiting in the wings
but the age of reason’s gone

Oh lord let there be a place
Sweet child let there be a place
Oh love let there be a place for gold

I was standing on the corner
Of revelation row
I heard an angel whisper
I heard a trumpet blow
If there really is a heaven
Then why can’t someone show me oh
Oh lord let there be a place
Sweet child let there be a place
Oh love let there be a place for gold

Fear breeds dreadful lies
Religion loses faith
Love dies in the face of what will be
A quiet voice and a steady hand
Could bring this ship around
But it seems it’s not to be.
Oh lord let there be a place
Sweet child let there be a place
Oh love let there be a place for gold

All’s quiet in the dead of night
Everything’s come at last
