Midnight Horse

Riding on midnight horse he stuttered to the sky,

“Could you buy me one more ride ‘round the sun?

There’s still that train I need to catch

There was something to be won

In a place I can't forget

Its memory lingers on …”

And on, and it’s real

On … and it’s real.

Calling from the underworld I will you speak with you sometime,

Foreign winds will blow me to your tides

And through the floodgates of my mind

A bottle is afloat

So I break it open wide

And read the hidden note

And I know I can feel

I know ... I can feel.

Your midnight horse arrived

You rode around the sun

One thousand other times

The stories in your mind

Change slightly over time

But I don't really mind

When I look into your eyes

And I know that you are mine

For a second fragile seas will part

Freeze the fates to walk a path that's marked

That’s how it was and how it is

Yet after all we’re only kids

And only by some longing on the lawn

To see for all to not see what it was

And so, it is, as we begin

Some distant road until again

Riding on a midnight horse, he stuttered to the skies,

“Could you buy me one more ride ‘round the sun?”
