Purple Rain, Purple Cow
From Prince's song, Purple Rain, I used these lines as a repeated refrain:

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"


PURPLE RAIN, PURPLE COW

I saw a cow once,
this I swear
You might not think it true
She wasn't brown or black and white,
She wasn't even blue

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"

She stood upon a hillside,
Torrential storm was sweeping through
Her hide shown glorious purple
Her nose ring looked brand new!

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"

There once was a Prince of music,
He sang of timeless purple rain,
We lost him but a year ago
The days grow short and sunshine wanes

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"

These days I see that Purple cow
In mind's eye and through folklore
Prince's spirit transcends death and pain
His music lives forever more

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"

Celtic memories can grow hazy
Romanticize life's normal days
Leave me my bovine memories
For delights of a purple rain's haze

"you say you want a leader
But you can´t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"
