Let Peace Be Your Friend Tonight

Verse 1
There are red days, there are blue days
But, always there are grey days
There are good days, there are bad days
But, always there are sad days
There were my days, there were our days,
But, now there are only grey, sad, lonely days

Chorus
Like the change in the weather, when the sun won’t shine
Like the loss of your appetite and no more red wine
There will always be hope and a dream of times to come
There will always be a story and a cloak to hold you tight
Let tears wash away your pain and peace be your friend tonight

Verse 2
No money in the metre, the summer’s day so cold
Friendships held so dear are now passed and old
Rain upon the window, today no sun will shine
Boxes packed and our treasures stolen away
These clouds won’t hold a silver lining, come what may
With clothes all gone, empty cupboards echo your pain

Chorus
Like the change in the weather, when the sun won’t shine
Like the loss of your appetite and no more red wine
There will always be hope and a dream of times to come
There will always be a story and a cloak to hold you tight
Let tears wash away your pain and peace be your friend tonight

Verse 3
Whales echo your song beneath the beckoning waves
Foxes bark their mournful call across the moon’s haze
Alone in the depth of dark, no warmth beside you tonight
Did you ever share those moments or was it all in your head?
Will life ever hold any hope or only dread?
Tears sob your pain, there is no peace tonight

Chorus
Like the change in the weather, when the sun won’t shine
Like the loss of your appetite and no more red wine
There will always be hope and a dream of times to come
There will always be a story and a cloak to hold you tight
Let tears wash away your pain and peace be your friend tonight
