Lyrics

A yellow braid around my neck That shows them all that I'm to be led They keep me here until I'm done A grassy circle churned with mud Into the field they make me run With all the chains around my feet No way to rest in the hot sun A silver hasp to keep me in So now my coat's no longer pale But has the marks from time hard won My stable's roofed only by the air And never warms me in the cold The trap is heavy that I pull Into the noise of four wheeled men I pass the others on their grass islands We're bred for work that's never done The silver hasp has worn me down And as I circle on and round It wears in turn until then A hollow sound is all there's left I pick a time after I've been fed Into the night I run and run
