Ian & Sylvia — Joshua

[Verse 1] Joshua bends the boughs to the ground Gathers the fruit and hands it all around Martha is waiting down by the road Joshua comes to carry her load [Chorus] Song, song, a symbol of song Some of them dead but all of them gone [Verse 2] Who is the child that stands by the door? Takes what is offered, asks nothing more He brings a song to brighten your day Call out the dogs to chase him away [Chorus] Song, song, a symbol of song Some of them dead but all of them gone [Verse 3] Under the bridge where the water runs deep There on the bank lie silent they sleep Out of the rain and out of the sun Out of the sight of everyone [Chorus] Song, song, a symbol of song Some of them dead but all of them gone [Verse 4] Eye of the moon looks silently down Calling the souls from out of the ground Calling the lovers, the fools and the blind Leave all the chains of daylight behind [Chorus] Song, song, a symbol of song Some of the dead but all of them gone
