Joshua

[Verse 1]
Joshua bends the boughs to the ground
Gathers the fruit and hands it all around
Martha is waiting down by the road
Joshua comes to carry her load

[Chorus]
Song, song, a symbol of song
Some of them dead but all of them gone

[Verse 2]
Who is the child that stands by the door?
Takes what is offered, asks nothing more
He brings a song to brighten your day
Call out the dogs to chase him away

[Chorus]
Song, song, a symbol of song
Some of them dead but all of them gone

[Verse 3]
Under the bridge where the water runs deep
There on the bank lie silent they sleep
Out of the rain and out of the sun
Out of the sight of everyone

[Chorus]
Song, song, a symbol of song
Some of them dead but all of them gone

[Verse 4]
Eye of the moon looks silently down
Calling the souls from out of the ground
Calling the lovers, the fools and the blind
Leave all the chains of daylight behind

[Chorus]
Song, song, a symbol of song
Some of the dead but all of them gone
