lyrics

CARRY ON COUNTRY

PLEASE LET MY SICK HEAD SETTLE
IN ALL HONESTY
I CAN'T SPEAK ITS MIND
BUT IT LIES AT REST
I WANT TO FLIP
THE SPIRIT LEVEL
A KIND OF POVERTY
WHEN YOU CANNOT BE KIND
YOU NEVER SEE THE BEST
WHEN NO-ONE CALLS YOUR NAME
A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY
WILL YOU SPRINKLE WATER
ON THE HEADS OF FLOWERS
IN THE TWILIGHT HOURS
NEAR QUIET NEIGHBOURS
IN YOUR RETIRED LABOURS
IN THE CALM FAILURE
OF A BIG COUNTRY
