lyrics

When all you do is ramble
And you ain't got no time for love
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down

Like a paper aeroplane
Like a lonely vagabond
Peace, it is fragile and travels alone
If you don’t talk to strangers you’ll never know

Still trying to fight the battles won
One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying too close to the sun

Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord

When your shoes are all worn through
And your blistered feet are bleeding
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down

Still trying to fix the damage done
One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying to close to the sun

Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord

When your heart is filled with anger
And your eyes can barely see
When your muscles all are burning
And you’ve forgotten your own name
When the road ahead is winding
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down

One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying to close to the sun.

Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord.
