Wild Horses II

"Where are we going?"

Something you asked me

While time was flowing like a river, and we

We had it coming

We saw the sunsets

We saw the night turn

It was a safe bet

Mmm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mmm

How can a lifetime fit in an hour?

The sky, it opened up

Then came the showers, and we

Stopped at some motel with paper thin walls

And floral linens and a bible in the drawer

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mmm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo

You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's

We passed a canyon

We passed a fire brigade

Headed up the mountains

They set the woods ablaze and then we got hungry

Stopped at a diner

You flirted with the waitress

And I didn't even care

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mmm

Where do you go to when you look past me?

Do you see yourself

Miserable and free?

Such a strange notion

To see you clearly

When love's shadow stood up and left the room

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mmm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo

You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's

"I hate who we've become"

Spoken like an absolute

Just listened to you speak

There was nothing to dispute

I guess something shifted

I guess something died

Thought I couldn't change it

So I didn't even try

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mmm

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo

You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's

You know I can't let you slide through my hands

You prefer the Rolling Stones', but I like Gram's
