Wild Strawberries - Peace Lies Waiting lyrics

Murder cries the cathedral A hungry hawk, a sword, a ploughshare Set the stage in Canterbury Seven years and then Peace lies waiting-fugitive, cloistered and longing Peace lies waiting-hovering above the spearpoints Peace stands higher than my fragile sense of need Peace I leave with you Not as the world gives or has ever seen Safe in the ruins k**ed but not wounded Pierced with painful joy When he smiles Even the wind and the rain Close their eyes Hold their fire I've never seen peace in a vacuum But I've seen it in a bitter sea Safe in the ruins k**ed but not wounded I'm held tightly free
