lyrics

Shoulders Brown (words & music David Ross Macdonald)

You don’t know how lucky you are
You don’t show no pain
And there you go hurrying away
Itchy feet don’t like to stay

And you have no idea this ended long ago
When I held you near and you said let me go
Ever since that day when you lay me down
All I see is you shoulders brown

And you don’t know how lovely you can be
You don’t hide you don’t game
And when you called your mother on the phone
I listened in

And you have no idea this ended long ago
When I held you near and you said let me go
Ever since that day when you lay me down
All I see is you shoulders brown

Some say that time, be the healer of all wounds
I’m not sure that I agree
These feelings here don’t seem to want to rust
And I’m not sure that I want them to

And you don’t know how funny you can be
There’s more to laughing than out loud
These’s more to you than seeking company
Or standing out in the crowd
And your friends, I’ll miss them half as much
For every one I miss you two
I know I said I will keep in touch, but I won’t

And you have no idea this ended long ago
When I held you near and you said let me go
Ever since that day when you lay me down
All I see is your shoulders brown
