lyrics

Oh Papa pass another ear of corn
The castle stands in light this summer morn

They say that "when in love the bricks are laid
The walls themselves will hold the love that's made
That's made"

I strip the corn with younger finger's feel
There shines a girl who comes to share the meal

They say that "when in love the bricks are laid
The walls themselves will hold the love that's made
That's made"

We steam the corn and fill the wedding glass
My father gives the grace, at last, at last
The girl she sits across the table torn
It's here, It's here, It's here first love is born

Old grey walls, young new-fall


Come, oh love, oh shelter and keep this frail heart from failing
Make this room in stained-glass and holy wooden railings

Open doors and sounds of life, who can help this summer's sighing
Caught within her taut eyes I hear the words that I am crying

Oh love, stay young. Like those trees, have grown.

I saw it, long ago.
I felt it, long ago.
And since then, I've gone away
It's called back, I've gone away
And I know, I'll come back
That it's there and I'll go back

Old grey walls, young new-fall.
