GOLDEN SOCKS
Your Golden Socks and your cotton oxen
Are standing still in silhouette stillness
Grazing in groups on the green grassy hilltops
Somewhere near we hear the sound of a church clock
Sadly recording with each little tick tock the passing of moments we'll barely remember
They say it's September when we start to look back
I don't ask questions I don't know why
Every day I wonder if I should laugh or cry
And Sally gets mad if you don't like her new songs
But they all sound exactly
The same as here old ones
You bite your tongue when you just want to tell her
Or maybe sit her down and show her some new chords
Or maybe just see if she wants to try out a capo
I don't ask questions I don't know why
Every day I wonder if I should laugh or cry
Just like a halo of bumble bees
Buzzing the top of a tobacco tree
Tired and weary right down to their bones
A hundred will drop dead for every sweet drop of honey
Just like Humpty Dumpty
And here comes Nancy smiling and happy
Light radiates from wherever she's standing
Down-home and loyal articulate and wise
Beckoning you with joy and surprise
Reminding you of what you're here for
I don't ask questions I don't know why
Every day I wonder if I should laugh or cry
