Sunday Silence had Easy Goer on Derby Day.
The field fell back on the muddy track
And left the oddsmakers all shoveling hay.
And an early morning snow fell
Later on the wonderworld that day.
And I'll bet my new love is stronger
than the odds on snow in May
Or Sunday Silence
Just running circles all around the bay.
It's so funny, you could almost eat your hat
Over horse heats.
What's the fun in that
When there is new love
And trust and hope and
Hearts laid on the line.
You can't handicap
A pair of mutual affections
Till such time
The two racing bodies cross the line
And a hush falls on anticipation time.
Would you just
Look at the pony run.
Sunday Silence won the seventh
And beat the odds that day.
And a snow encircled my new love
On that same seventh day in May.
In the Sunday silence
It's so comfortable and calm.
I could hold you here
Until Apollo's horse
Brings up the rear at dawn.
Look at that pony run.
Look at that pony run.
Sunday...Sunday.
