Lyrics Children Of Darkness - Joan Baez
(words
by
Richard
Farina)
Oh,
now
is
the
time
for
your
loving,
dear,
And
the
time
for
your
company
Now
when
the
light
of
reason
fails
And
fires
burn
on
the
sea
Oh,
now
in
this
age
of
confusion
I
have
need
for
your
company.
For
I
am
a
wild
and
a
lonely
child
And
the
son
of
an
angry
man
Now
with
the
high
wars
raging
I
would
offer
you
my
hand
For
we
are
the
children
of
darkness
And
the
prey
of
a
proud,
proud
land.
It's
once
I
was
free
to
go
roaming
in
The
wind
of
the
springtime
mind
And
once
the
clouds
I
sailed
upon
Were
sweet
as
lilac
wine
Oh,
why
are
the
breezes
of
summer,
dear
Enlaced
with
a
grim
design?
So,
now
is
the
time
for
your
loving,
dear,
And
the
time
for
your
company
Now
when
the
light
of
reason
fails
And
fires
burn
on
the
sea
Oh,
now
in
this
age
of
confusion
I
have
need
for
your
company.

is
the
following
Now
is
the
time
for
your
loving,
dear,
And
the
time
for
your
company
Now
when
the
light
of
reason
fails
And
fires
burn
on
the
sea
Now
in
this
age
of
confusion
I
have
need
for
your
company.
It's
once
I
was
free
to
go
roaming
in
The
wind
of
the
springtime
mind
It's
once
the
clouds
I
sailed
upon
Were
sweet
as
lilac
wine
So
why
are
the
breezes
of
summer,
dear
Enlaced
with
a
grim
design?
And
where
was
the
will
of
my
father
when
We
raised
our
swords
on
high?
And
where
was
my
mother's
wailing
when
Our
flags
were
justified?
And
where
will
we
take
our
pleasures
when
Our
bodies
have
been
denied?
For
I
am
a
wild
and
a
lonely
child
And
the
child
of
an
angry
man
Now
with
the
high
wars
raging
I
would
offer
you
my
hand
For
we
are
the
children
of
darkness
And
the
prey
of
a
proud,
proud
land.
