The Test Of Time

Judy Collins

Anastasia woman in the cold of the desert night

The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright

Three days her lover hunted on the plains

She never knew if he would ever come home again



So she could feed the flame of love and then

Hold him in her arms again

Make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart



A love that lasts is hard to find

Like the harmony in an old design

But the love of a good woman

The love a good woman

Stands the test of time



Woman on a cliff at the break of a winters day

A baby at her breast and her lover far away

Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise

Across the water and through the stormy skies



He returns at last from the battle field

Where death has marched with a Christian shield

She will make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart



A love that lasts is hard to find

Like the harmony in an old design

But the love of a good woman

The love a good woman

Stands the test of time



The brittle will be broken

And the supple will survive

Men are born to fight in armour

Women born to stay alive

Behind every veil of tears

There is a sister of a thousand years



High in a canyon where the city meets the stars

My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far

Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine

Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine



Oh we are all the guardians

And everyday we start again

To make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart



A love that lasts is hard to find

Like the harmony in an old design

But the love of a good woman

The love a good woman

Stands the test of time



A love that lasts is hard to find

Like the harmony in an old design

But the love of a good woman

The love a good woman

Stands the test of time



A love that lasts is hard to find

Like the harmony in an old design

But the love of a good woman

The love a good woman

Stands the test of time
