Live Like Horses lyrics

I can't control this flesh and blood

That's wrapped around my bones

It moves beneath me like a river

Into the great unknown

I stepped onto the moving stairs

Before I could tie my shoes

Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade

Who lived and died the blues

And his promise made was never clear

It just carved itself in me

All I saw was frost inside my head

On the night he said to me

Someday we'll live like horses

Free rein from your old iron fences

There's more ways than one to regain your senses

Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

We're the victims of the heartbreak

That kept us short of breath

Trapped above these bloodless streets

Without a safety net

I stood in line to join the trial

One more customer of fate

Claimed a spoke in the wheel of a wagon train

On the road to the golden gate

On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship

It just made sense to me

I've spent too long in the belly of the beast

And now I shall be free

Someday we'll live like horses

Free rein from your old iron fences

There's more ways than one to regain your senses

Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

Someday, free rein from your old iron fences

There's more ways than one to regain your senses

Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses
