Lyrics
Laughter and Forgetting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Running like a horse between the trees
The ground beneath my feet
Gives me something to hold on to
With the reins around my heart
Guided by hands
That spread life before my very eyes
Well every hope falls down on its knees in time
But I'm no longer lost
Every day, every second, every hour inside
Love's my only guide
Are these the years of laughter and forgetting ?
