On and On it Goes

from Trying to Catch The Sun by The Bushburys

lyrics

Black cat Sitting on a rooftop high
Two little magpies down they fly
chattering madly get out of my tree
Their ain't enough branches for you and me
You scare my children and they just won't grow
The trouble you cause ah you'll never know
I've been nesting in this spot since time it began
The Black cat waits as only Black cats can

And on and on it goes
Just like a river flows
And we ain't never free
No not you and me will always be

Prisoner of our history
Chained to the past in your misery
Always another forest and another damn tree
Chained to the past in your misery
On and on it goes

Black cat sits and he waits his chance
He leads those birds on a very dance
Bides his time for ultimately
He knows their paths will cross his own territory
But he reckoned without the Woodman and his axe so fine
Before you know there's another falling Pine
the best laid plans of the cat long gone
The Magpies still singing that same old song

And on and on it goes
Just like a river flows
And we ain't never free
No not you and me will always be

Prisoner of our history
Chained to the past in your misery
Always another forest and another damn tree
Chained to the past in your misery
On and on it goes
