From the recordings Walking on the Wire and Walking on the Wire
You won't get the goodness out of life unless you open up your own heart first. This is a bouncy song!
Lyrics
"Out to Pasture"
© 2024, Gordon Thomas Ward
And if you’re lookin’ for that bright spot, shinin’,
Take a walk out ‘neath the whispering trees
Two birds, two birds, sylvan carol singin’,
Walk with the light beside the sea.
And if you tell me that you’re hungry, maybe,
You don’t know just where to start.
Put your worries out to pasture, baby,
Loose the honey from your heart.
Dusk is filling in the valley deeper.
Grows the garden of the night.
Down the channel to the dawning tides and
Firmament’s celestial sight.
And if you tell me that you’re hungry, maybe,
You don’t know just where to start.
Put your worries out to pasture, baby,
Loose the honey from your heart.
Winter chains, cold and steely, binding,
Spring imprisoned, frozen maiden, fair.
Rush of, rush of, warm wind, liberation
Shake the dead leaves from her hair.
And if you tell me that you’re hungry, maybe,
You don’t know just where to start.
Put your worries out to pasture, baby,
Loose the honey from your heart.
And if you tell me that you’re hungry, maybe,
You don’t know just where to start.
Put your worries out to pasture, baby,
Loose the honey from your heart.
Loose the honey from your heart.
