lyrics

Come all of you dogs of disgrace and despair
Weave the spring blossoms in the hems of your hair
Find the fear in the fabric and tear out the thread
Leave the dark for the dying and already dead

Come pick up the spade, come pick up the plow
Bring the stars from the cellar and the lights from the town
Sow the moonshine and lamplight like seeds in the sand
A new world is growing inside of your hands

Come on join in!
All you travelers and tramps
All your kindred and kin
Come on join in!
A new world is waiting
About to begin

Come on join in!
All you witches and widows
You waifs of the wind
Come on join in!
A new world is waiting
About to begin

Come on join in!
All you travelers and tramps
All your kindred and kin
Come on join in!
A new world is waiting
About to begin

Come on join in!
All you witches and widows
You waifs of the wind
Come on join in!
A new world is waiting, about to begin
A new world is waiting, about to begin
A new world is waiting
