Call If You Need Me

Come over to the window now

There's something you must see

There's seven snow white horses

From some paddock broken free

They're standing in the yard tonight

Like unmoored, drifting boats

So let's go out into the air

And see them from up close

I will go outside with you

But that's far as I will go

It's all become as clear as white

And both of us should know

For too long you have built your fence

Of wire around my life

You're not my husband anymore

I am not your wife

I never meant you any harm

And you meant none to me

But something’s come upon us

From our long vast history

You’ve had a life apart from ours

Your deception has run wild

And I was cruel and secretive

As thoughtless as a child

I wish I was a wild horse

And was not what I am

I think maybe you feel the same

Is that how this all began

Everyone wants to be free

Of others and themselves

But freedom gained is just to be

A slave to something else
