Let The Olive Branches Sway

I've waited to see you long enough
So let's pour mellow wine into our cups
Gone are the last five years of yesterday
It's time to make the olive branches sway
Let's stamp our feet by the fire in the dust
And pour mellow wine into our cups
One day we should say what has been unsaid
But first let the olive branches sway

You wore the troubles in the lines of your smile
And in the heels of your boots but

I thought you were a good man
Who is this with bruised knuckles and a dusty brow

You have the same face
But are you the same man I saw five years ride away

I have felt the hands of many a man
But the strength in yours always remained

I've waited to see you long enough
So let's pour mellow wine into our cups
Gone are the last five years of yesterday
It's time to make the olive branches sway
Let's stamp our feet by the fire in the dust
And pour mellow wine into our cups
One day we should say what has been unsaid
But first let the olive branches sway

I take no pleasure in icing my hand
Stacking them by the door wasn't my plan
I came back to see if you would let me
Make new lines in the dust for you to see

At night do you still walk side by side
With the devil in the silent streets
Cos I can reach out and feel for your hand
And together we can ride those streets again

I've waited to see you long enough
So let's pour mellow wine into our cups
Gone are the last five years of yesterday
It's time to make the olive branches sway
Let's stamp our feet by the fire in the dust
And pour mellow wine into our cups
One day we should say what has been unsaid
But first let the olive branches sway

I've waited to see you long enough
So let's pour mellow wine into our cups
Gone are the last five years of yesterday
It's time to make the olive branches sway
Let's stamp our feet by the fire in the dust
And pour mellow wine into our cups
One day we should say what has been unsaid
But first let the olive branches sway
