Folkestone, Kent

No more war no suffering
In the Hotel Grand Burstin
Ancient church choir in the
Square
On the hill the old stone stairs

Women picking ancient leaves
Frost sticking to ancient trees
Band playing in the hall
Ancient songs before the fall

Rain clouds slowly gathering
Pray the wind blows southerly
Walk the narrow cobblestone
Streets
Someone's army sank in defeat

Drunkard with a tinfoil hat
Port windows dull and cracked
Seagulls crossed through Dover
Cliffs
Graveyard vistas in the mist

Night excursion across the bay
In the center Port Calais
Concrete bunker barbed wire fence
Hungry people no expense

War is over radio blast
How she tried to make it last
Pray for that bonny breeze
Bring my lover back to me
