Lyrics
Wine from a Mug (Mark Bloomer)
At a parents evening for Marks eldest son, Mark was asked if he would be happy if his children lead the life of roaming traveling musicians as he once himself did. This song, in a strange kind of way, is a reply to that question.
Come lay down your arms
Come sit at the table
Help sing a song of days gone by
Let go of the past
Let in down gently
Away on the west wind into the dark of the night
Because we are much the same my friends
Fought long and hard and hard, our dreams to defend
Let’s drink our wine from a mug
Let’s live for the laughter
It’s been here long before sorrow and pain
What would I answer
If you were to ask
To tell you the truth I really don´t know
Except don´t sit and sigh
But enjoy the ride
Live for the laughter
That’s ours to hold
Because we are all the same
Still fighting hard our dreams to maintain
For fear is a lock and love is a key
That’s been here long before sorrow and pain
Come lay down your arms
Come sit at the table
Help sing a song of days gone by
Drink our Wine from a mug
Let´s live for the laughter
It´s been here long before
Sorrow and pain
