Bruce Cockburn Festival Of Friends Lyrics

Festival Of Friends Lyrics

An elegant song won't hold up long

When the palace falls and the parlour's
gone

We all must leave but it's not the end

We'll meet again at the
festival of friends. 



Smiles and laughter and pleasant times

There's love in the world but it's hard to find

I'm so glad I found
you -- I'd just like to extend

An invitation to the festival of friends.




Some of us live and some of us die

Someday God's going to
tell us why

Open your heart and grow with what life sends

That's
your ticket to the festival of friends. 



Like an imitation of a
good thing past

These days of darkness surely will not last

Jesus
was here and he's coming again

To lead us to his festival of friends. 



Black snake highway -- sheet metal ballet

It's just so much snow
on a summer day

Whatever happens, it's not the end

We'll meet again
at the festival of friends.
