Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood Lyrics - Fairport Convention

As gentle tides go rolling by, 

Along the salt sea strand 

The colours blend and roll as one 

Together in the sand. 

And often do the winds entwine 

Do send their distant call, 

The quiet joys of brotherhood, 

And love is lord of all. 

The oak and weed together rise, 

Along the common ground. 

The mare and stallion light and dark 

Have thunder in their sound. 

The rainbow sign, the blended flower 

Still have my heart in thrall. 

The quiet joys of brotherhood, 

And love is lord of all.

But man has come to plough the tide, 

The oak lies on the ground. 

I hear their tires in the fields, 

They drive the stallion down. 

The roses bleed both light and dark, 

The winds do seldom call. 

The running sands recall the time 

When love was lord of all.
