lyrics

THE HORSES

You will fly, way up high where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughing and having fun with all the people that she knows
And if the situation keeps us separated, that don’t mean the world’s gonna fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird that’s caught inside your heart

Can’t you hear her?
She cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud

That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darling
You’ll be riding on the horses yeah
Up in the sky, little darling
And if you fall I’ll pick you up

You will grow, and until you go, I’ll be right there by your side
And even then, whisper to the wind, she’ll carry up your ride
‘Cause i hear all the people of the world in a little bird’s lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how just to make their spirit fly

Can’t you see him?
He’s down on the ground
He’s got a broken wing
He’s looking all around

That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darling
We’ll be riding on the horses yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
And if you fall I’ll pick you up

Look over your shoulder, i’m right behind you
‘Cause you know i was young once too
And when i was young, when i was young
When your mama was young i heard she was a real wild one
