Two Horses

I'm a faraway traveller

I travel alone

Searching in the mist

For what I know exists for me out there

Solitary

Awaits me out there

I know she will

She was there before the rain

Before these dunes

Before they made the pyramids

Oh, waited so long

Have I finally found the road to lead on?

The moon was low and the road dusty

When I was captured by some thieves

My pockets empty

I said, "You'll have to kill me

To cut this jewel out of me"

They let me go

Stopped at the next bar

For a neat drink

Across from where I sat, a man gazed at me

He looked just like James Dean

On the silver screen

Our eyes did meet

And he winked at me

Is this the one?

Have I finally found a man to lean on?

Will you help me and my horses on my way

Through night and day?

Oh, I can see my destination on the line

And if the stars are aligned

Not gonna be a next time

I'll check him as he's sleeping

Can never trust a man who's drinking whisky at the bar alone

But his arm's around your waist

And your hair is blowing in the wind and it felt alright

And on that second night, he came for me

He took a knife out of his boot

And silently I learned the truth

He was a liar

A leech and beggar

And through the embers

I watched him kill my horses

River, river, take me

Down to the waterfall

Won't come back at all

Just let me fall

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
