Joshua - Ian & Sylvia

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

Song, song, a symbol of song

Some of them dead but all of them gone

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

Song, song, a symbol of song

Some of them dead but all of them gone

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

Song, song, a symbol of song

Some of them dead but all of them gone

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

Song, song, a symbol of song

Some of the dead but all of them gone
