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
Mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
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
Mm-mm-mm
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
Mm-mm-mm
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
Mm-mm-mm
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
Mm-mm-mm
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
