Easter

[with steve hogarth on vocals and steve rothery on guitar, ]

[both from marillion.				      ]

- ("uncovered" show at ronnie scott's jazz club, london - 1/31/95)

- steve hogarth and john helmer

(marillion - from the album "season's end")



A ghost of a mist was on the field

The grey and the green together

The noise of a distant farm machine

Out of the first light came



A tattered necklace of hedge and trees

On the southern side of the hill

Betrays where the border runs between

Where mary dunoon's boy fell



Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter

Surely now can all of your hearts be free



Out of the port of liverpool

Bound for the north of ireland

The wash of the spray and horsetail waves

The roll of the sea below



And easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter

Surely now can all of your hearts be free



What will you do?

Make a stone of your heart?

Will you set things right

When you tear them apart?

Will you sleep at night

With the plough and the stars alight?



What will you do?

With the wire and the gun?

That'll set things right

When it's said and done?

Will you sleep at night?

Is there so much love to hide?
