Children Of Darkness Lyrics - Joan Baez

(words by Richard Farina) 

Oh, now is the time for your loving, dear, 

And the time for your company 

Now when the light of reason fails 

And fires burn on the sea 

Oh, now in this age of confusion 

I have need for your company. 

For I am a wild and a lonely child 

And the son of an angry man 

Now with the high wars raging 

I would offer you my hand 

For we are the children of darkness 

And the prey of a proud, proud land.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

It's once I was free to go roaming in 

The wind of the springtime mind 

And once the clouds I sailed upon 

Were sweet as lilac wine 

Oh, why are the breezes of summer, dear 

Enlaced with a grim design? 

So, now is the time for your loving, dear, 

And the time for your company 

Now when the light of reason fails 

And fires burn on the sea 

Oh, now in this age of confusion 

I have need for your company.

Now is the time for your loving, dear, 

And the time for your company 

Now when the light of reason fails 

And fires burn on the sea 

Now in this age of confusion 

I have need for your company. 

It's once I was free to go roaming in 

The wind of the springtime mind 

It's once the clouds I sailed upon 

Were sweet as lilac wine 

So why are the breezes of summer, dear 

Enlaced with a grim design? 

And where was the will of my father when 

We raised our swords on high? 

And where was my mother's wailing when 

Our flags were justified? 

And where will we take our pleasures when 

Our bodies have been denied? 

For I am a wild and a lonely child 

And the child of an angry man 

Now with the high wars raging 

I would offer you my hand 

For we are the children of darkness 

And the prey of a proud, proud land.
