No Hurryby Michelle DockreyThe horses' hooves on pavement make a lonely echoing sound I look down between the wheels and watch the slowly passing ground While the swaying of the wagon makes me drowsy in the heat I count the faded yellow lines that pass beneath my feetNo hurry, no hurry now Watch the sky for a moment or two No hurry, no hurry now You take your time when it's all you can do No hurry, no hurry now From town to town, what's another lost day? No hurry, no hurry now Wherever it is, it's far and awayWe crest the hill and see the crumbling towers by the shore Pass the signpost for a bridge that isn't standing anymore Grandma saw this city grand and busy as a girl Now the gypsies see just a market town, and the homebound, their whole worldNo hurry, no hurry now Watch the sky for a moment or two No hurry, no hurry now You take your time when it's all you can do No hurry, no hurry now SongtexteFrom town to town, what's another lost day? No hurry, no hurry now Wherever it is, it's far and awayWe pitch camp by the roadside and the children play and run Gather wildflowers and blackberries and watch the setting sun Though our labor is of burden beasts, our freedom is of men For it doesn't matter where we go, and it doesn't matter whenNo hurry, no hurry now Watch the sky for a moment or two No hurry, no hurry now You take your time when it's all you can do No hurry, no hurry now From town to town, what's another lost day? No hurry, no hurry now Wherever it is, it's far and awayPapa says it's best this way, and it's all the life I've known Still I wonder what it's like to call the Raven's speed your own To hear the voice of a distant friend and see a distant face But you can't pick roadside blackberries if you move at such a paceNo hurry, no hurry now Watch the sky for a moment or two No hurry, no hurry now You take your time when it's all you can do No hurry, no hurry now From town to town, what's another lost day? No hurry, no hurry now Wherever it is, it's far and away Aus Songtexte Mania
