Horses

Gary Jules


We need to be where we can hear the horses
We don't hear the horses from here
Blind Henry whispers to the legless Annalee
"Honey I can reach the pedals,
But you're gonna have to steer"

Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can come over
You can stay sober tonight
Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can come over tonight

He can hear them in the alleys
But the pretty ones are always insincere
A restless spirit come to visit in the body of a stranger
Just a light around the eyes
That makes a flash and disappears

Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can stay sober
You can come over tonight
Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can stay sober tonight

In the corners there are echoes
Ever closer, never near
There are thirsts
There are swallows
There are choices in between them my dear
We need to be where can feel the ocean
Walk the miles along the shoreline
Just to sleep beneath the pier
We need to be where we can hear the horses
We don't hear the horses from here

Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can come over
You can stay sober tonight
Horses, moonlight, appetite
Take another breath it'll be alright
You can come over tonight.
