The Yellow Furze
The yellow furze stole my heart again todayThe daisies in the long grasses swayBefore I stepped into his domainMy heart soared and sang with the windI stood in by the ditch where the primroses layAnd thought of my good friend JaneWho has turned her life around for herself yes for herselfDespite the shame of it allThey had to hand it to herShe's done well so they couldn't complainThey waited for the fall andAll the pain to come throughWith hearts already too brokenOnly to be frozen over in misery.They never said about the baby born in the barnAbout finding her twisted and wound up with their scornOr the months she spent many miles oh many miles awayOr the dark sunglasses worn on a winter's dayWe had nowhere to turn to but the skiesSo we followed our star around the worldNow we wave and walk on each bent in our own windThe trees lean in and listenSongtexteThey had to hand it to herShe's done well so they couldn't complainThey waited for the fall andAll the pain to come throughWith hearts already too brokenOnly to be frozen over in misery Aus Songtexte Mania
