Broken Flag

Nodding though the lamp's lit low Nod for passers underground To and fro she's darning And the land is weeping red and pale Weeping yarn from Algiers[x2] Weaving though the eyes pale What will rend will also mend The sifting cloth is binding And the dream she weaves will never end [Chorus:] For we're marching toward Algiers[x2] [Verse 2:] Lullaby though baby's gone Lullaby a broken song Oh, the cradle was our call When it rocked we carried on And we marched on toward Algiers For we're marching toward Algiers We're still marching for Algiers [Chorus:] Marching, marching for Algiers [Verse 3:] Not to hail a barren sky The sifting cloth is weeping red The mourning veil is waving high A field of stars and tears we've shed In the sky a broken flag Choldren wave and raise their arms We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on
