The Old Brown Cow

I guess I must be older now
I can no longer pull the plow
I wonder what will happen now
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

Set to pastures like being set aside
No longer able to keep astride
The cutting edge cuts deep your pride
But still those feelings you must hide

Like a head counted in a herd
Your voice alone cannot be heard
So you speak collectively
You only see what the others see

Is this the way it is when you
Get old and can no longer do
The things you did when you were you
All the things that you used to do

At times you feel alone in crowd
In a place of worship you shout out loud
You were once so strong so proud
Now you`re covered by an aging shroud

You`re in the school yard when someone fell
Now you`re waiting for the bell
Your mind is young your body`s not well
Though you walk tall the young ones can tell

I guess I must be older now
I can no longer pull the plow
I wonder what will happen now
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

I guess we must be older now
Those who can no longer pull the plow
I wonder what will happen now
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

I wonder what will happen now
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

I wonder what will happen now
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow
What ever happened to the Old Brown Cow

The answer and why

Its far too deep for me to go
to try and understand why I love her so
why she rules my life, controls my very breath
And I don't know why I miss her so much
and I don't know why I still feel her touch
She left me high and dry
except for the tears that I cried
I really wish I knew the answer and why
I really wish I knew the answer and why

...she went in one direction
leaving me alone here to cry
She knew that without her
my heart would break in two
and I would surely die
I sit here lonely and heart broken thinking
I really wish I knew the answer and why
Could it have been the way that I talked
or the things that I said
Could it have been when I pushed her around
or the time when I pushed her down on the ground
Could it be the fact that I do all of those things
and a whole lot more
and then say I love her as she walks out the door
Could it be the fact that love her
or love to control her as she'd have you think
it brings me pleasure when she brings me a drink
It could be any number of things, for and of which,
I'm guilty of I suppose
But in the end, the bottom line being
and I think she knows
that I love her ...

Its far too deep for me to go
to try and understand why I love her so
why she rules my life, controls my very breath
And I don't know why I miss her so much
and I don't know why I still feel her touch
She left me high and dry
except for the tears that I cried
I really wish I knew the answer and why
I really wish I knew the answer and why.

Something about the rain

Rain fell down upon us like tears from up above
I felt the sky crying, it heard about our broken love

You said you’d never leave me and promised to be true
But when I saw you kissing him it broke my heart in two

Honey why’d you do it
Why’d you kiss him
Hug him
Hold him too

Honey, you know I can do those things much better than he can for you
Honey gimme just one more chance and I'll prove it to you

Honey why’d you do it
Why’d you kiss him
Hug him
Hold him too

Honey, you know I can do those things much better than he can for you

Rain fell down upon us like tears from up above
I felt the sky crying, I heard about our broken love
We both promised to be faithful at least that’s what we said
To share our love forever, when we made love in our bed

Honey why’d you do it
Why’d you kiss him
Hug him
Hold him too

Honey, you know I can do those things much better than he can for you
Honey why’d you do it
Why’d you kiss him
Hug him
Hold him too

Honey, you know I can do those things much better than he can for you

Rain fell down upon us like tears from up above
I felt the sky crying, I heard about our broken love

It’s been a year now since we parted and my heart will always be with you
Though I wander through my life I still can’t believe it’s true

Honey why’d you do it
Why’d you kiss him
Hug him
Hold him too

Cuz, honey I would do those things much better then he ever can ever for you
Cuz, honey I would do those things much better then he ever can ever for you

Now the rain falls down on me like tears from up above
The sky is crying, cuz it heard of our broken love
The sky is crying, cuz it heard of our broken love
Yes I know the sky is crying cuz it heard
Of
Our broken love.
