If Dogs Run Free (alternate version, New Morning) Lyrics

If dogs run free, why not we
Across this swoopin' plain?
My ears hear a symphony
Two mules, trains and the wind
The best is always yet to come
Or so they explain to me
But every way is the right way
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then why not we
If dogs run free.

If dogs run free, why not me
Across the swamp of time
My mind weaves a tapestry
A fine design, a rhyme
Oh winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be
To each his own, it's all unknown
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then why not we
If dogs run free.

If dogs run free then what must be
Must be and that is all
True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall
In harmony with the cosmic sea
True love needs no company
It can cure the soul
It can make it whole
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then why not we
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then why not we
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, why not we
If dogs run free.
