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 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 Oh, 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 gunna 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 arms are 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 his knife out his boot and silently I learned the truth He was a liar A leach and a 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 Ahh Ahh
