Oh Look Around You

"Oh, look around you

Tell me what do you see ?

Do you see the yellow morning

And the green land so free ?"

"Oh no, I see no morning

But lands of dark and grey

And they tell me the green land

Has long gone away

Has long gone away."

"Once more look around you

Tell me what do you see ?

Do you see the clear wave laughter

And the deep blue sea ?"

"Oh no, there is no sorrow

Where the laughing tree stood

And they tell me the blue sea

Has long turned to blood

Has long turned to blood."

"No more look around you

Say no more what you see

But give me your cold hand

And lay beside me

And there, oh my darling

You will never worry

And we, like the others

Will forget in our sleep

Will forget in our sleep."
