Forever And The Same

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Forever And The Same [Verse 1] The pump is all froze And the horse is feet up The grader has levelled the mailbox away Winter is turning your blues eyes to grey [Chorus] But the comfort remains that you know in the end The jukebox sounds ever the same [Verse 2] By the snare’s mute call The old hound is swayed But there’s nothing much keeping the coyotes at bay Time even scatters your heartaches they say [Chorus] But the comfort remains that you know in the end The jukebox sounds ever the same [Verse 3] The clapboard is peeling And the roof has a flap The scrap-man has lured the MacCormick away The trailer-park calls you do not delay [Chorus] But the comfort remains that you know in the end The jukebox sounds ever the same [Verse 4] Your mate’s on the dole And the kid’s in the pen The sow has just landscaped your garden once more Your fortune was long burned right onto the bar [Chorus] But the comfort remains that you know in the end The jukebox sounds ever the same [Outro]
