Keep the Earth

Location

 

April's falling
April's sinking 
April's dying
April's crying
Now
 
Sing little lover birds
Sing all you may
For the world that's standing in your way
 
You cried for rivers 
And you cried for food
You cried for the shivers
And what's left to loose
 
Oh keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Smile at the face that you once knew
Smile at those who loved you
Oh hold me know and let me rest
My heart upon your weary chest
Oh keep the earth turning 
 
April's falling 
April's sinking 
April's dying
April's crying
Now
 
Cry little laughing plants
Cry all you may 
For the world that's standing in you way
 
Oh you enslaved 
All that was true
Creeping in the heart 
That once controlled you
 
Oh keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Smile at the face that you once knew
Smile at those who loved you
Oh hold me know and let me rest
My heart upon your weary chest
Oh keep the earth turning 
 
Keep the earth turning
Keep your heart yearning
Open now and let me rest
Your heart upon my weary chest
Open now and let me rest
Our hearts upon our weary chests
Smile 
Smile
Turning
Yearning
 
April's falling
April's sinking 
April's dying
April's crying
Now
