Years gone by

It is just like years gone by
In the moonlit night
Sheep and dogs lay thinking
From a glance the smell of peace
But how can the prey feel safe amidst its pursuer?

It is just like years gone by
In the moonlit night
All seated and warmed by the tribe’s fire
Listening to stories of yesteryears
O how can we tell of our fall in the land of the enemy?

It is just like years gone by
in the moonlit night
the blind beggar held on confidently to his boy
into a ditch they all fell
o how could he knew his boy dozed off at each step

but it is just like years gone by
o in the moonlit night
but I can see two lovers in a straw thatch
who were exposed when dim light turned bright
how can their fantasy blindfold their eye of care
