No Peace, No End Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

Where were you when the walls were crumbling 

Where were you when the guns were rumbling 

Where were you when the hounds of hell 

Took sons and lovers away 

Did you see me on the slippery slope 

Wrong end of a telescope 

Do you even pause for breath 

As you sleepwalk through the day 

Some day won't you 

Stand in my shoes 

And see the world I see 

No hope no friend 

No Peace No End 

I'm ground between two stones 

Soon I'll be nothing but bones 

Who'll be my shining savior 

Before I turn to dust? 

Are you the hand that kills me? 

Are you the hand that saves me? 

When they both sell you down the river 

Which one can you trust? 

Some day won't you 

Stand in my shoes 

And see the world I see 

No hope no friend 

No Peace No End 

No hope no friend 

No Peace No End 

In the peace museum there's a mangy dove 

To remind us all of universal love 

You can rent her out for your corporate dinner 

And feel good about yourself 

Geneva Convention they use as a pessary 

Olive branch is a fashion accessory 

In the big chess game there's just one winner 

And it's always somebody else 

Some day won't you 

Stand in my shoes 

And see the world I see 

No hope no friend 

No Peace No End 

No hope no friend 

No Peace No End
