One More Chance [alt. Take] Lyrics - Fairport Convention

Calling all olive branches and laid off doves 

There is work to do before we say goodbye 

But who can see them turning to the face of love 

Though I hear them pleading with me, don't let us die 

As I sit I can see their troubled souls wander by 

And I feel them leaning on my shoulder to cry 

Oh, one more chance 

Naked tree of winter seems to stand so proud 

Lording the poor mortal as he goes 

And the tears which well beneath his somber shroud 

Will they fall with the shame of somebody who knows 

He can never be like the thought of a rose 

Whose beauty remains, even when the bloom goes 

Oh, oh, one more chance 

Or is it too late to change the ways we're bound to go 

Is it too late, there's surely one of us must know 

Is it too late to change the ways we're bound to go 

Is it too late, there's surely one of us must know 

Is it too late, there's surely one of us must know 

Is it too late to change the ways we're bound to go 

Is it too late, there's surely one of us must know
