Slaughterhouse Gulch Lyrics

In the cold winter air I can see the old mare

Breathing calmly under the pine

A watchful cat prowls along with the owls

Small things scurry, a full moon shines

It all decomposes, even beautiful roses

New life springs forth from the mulch

This is where I call home and wherever I roam

There is a cottage on Slaughterhouse Gulch

Thick coastal fog coats the whiskers of the dog

As he follows the trail of the cat

High up in a tree is where he cannot be

And she watches him wherever he is at

It all decomposes, even beautiful roses

New life springs forth from the mulch

This is where I call home and wherever I roam

There is a cottage on Slaughterhouse Gulch

The shadows grow long as I sit and write this song

And my heart is heavy with hope

You are a friend to me and I love the mystery

And I think on this as I write each note

But it all decomposes, even beautiful roses

New life springs forth from the mulch

This is where I call home and wherever I roam

There is a cottage on Slaughterhouse Gulch

This is where I call home and wherever I roam

There is a cottage on Slaughterhouse Gulch
