作词 : Stewart | |
Three mules came over a hill | |
They were dragging a cart | |
Creaking, it seemed to be falling apart | |
Laden with millions of dreams | |
It weighed more than they thought | |
They never noticed the wheels getting caught | |
They pulled on, staring ahead | |
With blinkered eyes and lowered heads | |
Hoping that all would be fine | |
I see them now | |
Time out of time | |
Ramsey and | |
Stanley and | |
Neville Were the names of the mules | |
Each wore a bridle encrusted with jewels | |
And though a murmur of voices | |
Was rising behind | |
Each laboured on | |
And they paid it no mind | |
They pulled on with never a doubt | |
Past boulders and holes | |
Till the road petered out | |
And giving a snort they sat down | |
Waiting for somebody else to come round | |
And from this are our lives writ large | |
From the beach at | |
Dunkirk To | |
Pickett's | |
Charge And it's hard to go back after coming this far | |
Down the road | |
Three mules looked over a fence | |
At the field beyond | |
Green as a forest it shone in the sun | |
Into the stillness they broke | |
Like a stone in a pond | |
And kicking the gate down | |
They brayed at the ground | |
And pulled on tugging a dream | |
Out of a smile and into a scream | |
And tossed the damp soil all around | |
Until the whole field turned muddy brown | |
And from this are our lives writ large | |
From the beach at | |
Dunkirk To | |
Pickett's | |
Charge And it's hard to go back after coming this far | |
Down the road | |
Ah, but it's not very easy now being a mule | |
I don't believe you appreciate all that we do | |
Look at this long and unfortunate face | |
Try to imagine that you're in my place | |
This is my nature | |
And to it | |
I have to be true | |
Three mules came over a hill | |
With a sorrowful air | |
Though we've been judged, they said | |
It's hardly fair | |
All that we did was for you | |
And the good of the cause | |
Then they went back to the sound of applause | |
They went back into the night | |
Where a sickle of moon | |
Left a trickle of light | |
And while we lay under our roofs | |
The whole night filled up | |
With the beating of hooves | |
And from this are our lives writ large | |
From the beach at | |
Dunkirk To | |
Pickett's | |
Charge And it's hard to go back after coming this far | |
Down the road | |
And from this are our lives writ large | |
And every day | |
Is Pickett's | |
Charge And it's hard to go back after coming this far | |
Down the road |
