Ian F Ball - Resting Place

I hope there's a heaven for horses
Where the meadows are deep lush and sweet
With a shady spot under the oak trees
For old friends to nuzzle and meet
For old friends to nuzzle and meet

The nights they will always be balmy
With star-studded dark moleskin skies
And mornings wake cool still and gentle
Til the sun rises soft by and by
The sun rises soft by and by

The green sward will sweep through the valley
And stretch to an infinite view
Where wildflowers bloom and bow their heads meekly
As bright water streams tumble through
As bright water streams tumble through

Close by the sea laps the shoreline
Where the salt tang drifts warm on the air
And for nought but the sheer joy of galloping swiftly
They'll kick up their heels and run there
They'll kick up their heels and run there

The days they will always be springtime
Where bird song will rise like a prayer
And when I am tired care-worn and weary
I'll lay down my head and rest there
I'll lay down my head and rest there

Yes I hope there's a heaven for horses
Where the meadows are deep lush and sweet
With a shady spot under the oak trees
For old friends to nuzzle and meet
For old friends to nuzzle and meet
For old friends to nuzzle and meet
