The Limeliters - The Time Of Man текст песни

Once there were trees and a river
Once there was grass where you stand
Once there were songs
About rights instead of wrongs
Once was the time of man

We heard the humming like thunder
We saw the cloud rise at dawn
Then came the rain
As we watched and prayed in vain
Then all was still
All was gone

Once there were trees and a river
Once there was grass where you stand
Once there were songs
About rights instead of wrongs
Once was the time of man

Grass doesn't grow on the hillside
Trees shrink and die in the sun
No place to hide my little baby's eyes
From the damage the dead have done

Once there were trees and a river
Once there was grass where you stand
Once there were songs
About rights instead of wrongs
Once was the time of man

They didn't know in the old time
The earth and the seas were to share
They didn't know in the old time
Or care

Once there were trees and a river
Once there was grass where you stand
Once there were songs
About rights instead of wrongs
Once was the time of man
Once was the time of man
Once was the time of man
