A Horse In The Country

歌詞

(Michael Timmins) The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk were still a dollar or even if a quart of milk were still a quart And the hours, well, I don't mind how they creep on by like an old love of mine it's the years that simply disappear that are doing me in Guess I married too young, yeah, nineteen was just too young, but sometimes you meet someone and your guts just burn It's not that I don't love him anymore it's just that when I hear him coming through that front door my heart doesn't race like it did once before But I've got a horse out in the country I get to see him every second Sunday He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away This weather I could almost stand if the sun would shine a little brighter or even if the sun would shine at all But lately it just seems to me that this life has lost its mystery and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder And all my friends have settled down become their mothers and their fathers without a sound Except for Cathy, she bought a one-way subway ticket and left us all behind But I've got a horse out in the country I get to see him every second Sunday He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away This town wouldn't be so bad if a girl could trust her instincts or even if a girl could trust a boy
