r. dafremen (a song)

Between the pages of the rising sun
will a new day come
or come undone?

Out in the meadow
where the birds still sing
do they greet the dawn
or feel the coming rain?

Caref'ly count the blessings that you've got
then kneel and pray
for Camelot

Look for the ribbon
of a hidden stream
in the desert scape
for the treasured things

Relive the memories
that you still recall
'til the reapers come
around to take them all

Be like a flower in the barren snow
A splash of color 'gainst
the bitter winter cold

Dream of the wonders
that our people lost
on the verdant hills
of Camelot

Raise up your voice
while they'll still let you sing
of Camelot

(instrumental break down)

Reach for the breezes
that are out of reach
play a banner's part
in the pageantry

And when you're going
through your winter stores
find the pleasant things
that you were reaching for

Drink recollections of the summer's song
by the fireside
when the nights are long

A reminiscence
of your greener days
to keep you warm and sane
'til they come again

And don't forget
to take a healthy taste
of Camelot
in her glory days

Strike up a song
while you've got the voice to sing
of Camelot

Raise up your voice
while they'll still let you sing
of Camelot.
