Wine from a Mug (Mark Bloomer) At a parents evening for Marks eldest son, Mark was asked if he would be happy if his children lead the life of roaming traveling musicians as he once himself did. This song, in a strange kind of way, is a reply to that question. Come lay down your arms Come sit at the table Help sing a song of days gone by Let go of the past Let in down gently Away on the west wind into the dark of the night Because we are much the same my friends Fought long and hard and hard, our dreams to defend Let’s drink our wine from a mug Let’s live for the laughter It’s been here long before sorrow and pain What would I answer If you were to ask To tell you the truth I really don´t know Except don´t sit and sigh But enjoy the ride Live for the laughter That’s ours to hold Because we are all the same Still fighting hard our dreams to maintain For fear is a lock and love is a key That’s been here long before sorrow and pain Come lay down your arms Come sit at the table Help sing a song of days gone by Drink our Wine from a mug Let´s live for the laughter It´s been here long before Sorrow and pain
