Folkestone, Kent
DALLAS AUSTIN, DEBRA KILLINGS
No more war no more suffering
In the Hotel Grand Burstin
Ancient church choir in the square
On the hill the old stone stairs
Women picking ancient leaves
Frost sticking to ancient trees
Band playing in the hall
Ancient songs before the fall
Rain clouds slowly gathering
Pray the wind blows southerly
Walk the narrow cobblestone streets
Someone's army sank in defeat
Drunkard with a tinfoil hat
Port windows dull and cracked
Seagulls crossed through Dover cliffs
Graveyard vistas in the mist
Night excursion across the bay
In the center Port Calais
Concrete bunker barbed wire fence
Hungry people no expense
War is over radio blast
How she tried to make it last
Pray for that bonny breeze
Bring my lover back to me
