Mirah - Oxen Hope Lyrics
You sent me off without a warningWasn't just a threat and man, that was no jokeDid you know you'd struck the final blowTo my faithful oxen hope?We thought we knew we wanted what we hadBut you busted your side of the yokeSo I left with almost nothing but a gaping wholeYes, I did really went for brokeNo matter how much I weigh, like a boxer I trainSeems like the future is always gonna have it's wayKnocking me down, should I fold or spreadMy fortune hand on this hard rock bed?And I don't question, no, I don't doubtNow that I've tried living with and withoutThat was a hard, hard muscle to growAnd harder still to let goWe'd both commandeered a ship or twoWe'd had our fun, yeah, we had a fewAnd wheels spun around and water flowedIn here deep before we felt the coldAnd the ride we rode had danger inWe thought we could last while we were real strong swimmersBut we got flooded, yes, we got rolledAnd we both went down soon as you cut the ropeI've been wondering lately if ever I'd findSomeone to hold me like he wanted mineShould I give up or should I keep on trying?Should I move on or should I keep on lying to myselfBy saying it's all better this wayBut all the life is gone, I want to stayNow I've ruined it, you sound ages oldAnd I can feel that bearing down a part of my shoulders
