Topic: Song New Pastures. Words/Melody Helena Donovan.
This little tune was written some years ago. I had some woman Friends
for lunch. One of them had her divorce papers with her. We Cried and Laughed
together at the loss alround.
When they left i sat in the garden and this was the result of what our
discussion had been about! Some of the guys did come back, To Late! As some moved to new pastures in there Heads.
The song as usual has simple chords, is picked all through,{says she delighted with herself} and i feel a lovely Melody.
New PasturesWords/Melody Helena Donovan
[D] The [G] papers said just what was [C] real
[G] The ending of a marriage [D] deal
[G] Down to who [G] owned what and[C] why
[G] Lifetimes lost just [D] pie in [G] sky
.
The real life gone in time for [C] greed
[G]Because you planted another [D] seed
Your [G] kingdom full of what was [C] needed
Went [G] unnoticed [D] almost [G] unheeded.
Chorus
[D] Two hearts now left [G] unattended
[A7] Yours and hers cannot be [D] mended
[G] Ours still blooms as if they [C] know
[G] What we reap is [D] what we [G] sow.
Grass is greener was what you[C] said
[G] So left to tend another’s [D] bed
[G] Borders edging neat and[C] curved
[G] More weed than seed just [D] grew for [G] you.
Chorus.
[D]Two hearts now left [G] unattended
[A7]Yours and hers cannot be [D] mended
[G] Ours still blooms as if they[C] know
[G] What we reap is [D] what we [G] sow.
[G] What we reap is [D] what we [G] sow.
