Lyrics
Horses In The City
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.
They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
It's from another time, it's like a lullaby
But I don't think that I can sleep tonight
So I, count the street lights, I count the stars
I make a wish and wonder where you are
I wonder if I'll live long enough to feel again
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
I played the game, I dropped the ball, I lost another friend
I gained a future but I can't see where the future ends
I'd write a letter or write a song
But once again my voice just comes out wrong tonight
I wonder if I'll live long enough to sing again
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
But they don't seem frightened
As the cars go speeding by
So why am I so terrified
To close my eyes tonight?
I'm just afraid there's no time, no time
This time
They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
I wonder if they'll live to run without the reins again
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don't know what it is I just feel out of place
No, don't know what it is, know what it is
I just feel out of place
And I don't know what it is, know what it is
I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
In the city
