Rover |
I chase your every footstep and I follow every whim |
When you call the tune I’m ready to strike up the battle hymn |
My lady of the meadows --- |
My comber of the beach --- |
You’ve thrown the stick for your dog’s trick but it’s floating out of reach |
The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there |
So slip the chain and I’m off again --- |
You’ll find me everywhere |
Cause I’m a Rover |
As the robin craves the summer to hide his smock of red |
I need the pillow of your hair in which to hide my head |
I’m simple in my sadness, resourceful in remorse |
Then I’m down straining at the lead --- |
Holding on a windward course |
The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there |
So slip the chain and I’m off again --- |
You’ll find me everywhere |
Cause I’m a Rover |
Strip me from the bundle of balloons at every fair: |
Colourful and carefree --- |
Designed to make you stare |
But I’m lost and I’m losing the thread that holds me down |
And I’m up hot and rising in the lights of every town |
The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there |
So slip the chain and I’m off again --- |
You’ll find me everywhere |
Cause I’m a Rover |
