Darkhorse

(album: On Dark Horses - 2018)

Run little sister, run so fast, I see he's gaining on you
Take a breath and make it last, the darkwater horizon
Smile like you mean it and just cast the light of hell right out of here
No one else can see it's the shape that makes you fall on fallow ground
So no more laying down, and no more dragging out

It's the darkhorse you give legs to, no one else can ride
In the wake of strange beginnings, we can still stand high

Sing a song, a verse unhinged, passed down from our mother
Take breath and make it count and learn to sing another
Try 'cause we need to and laugh the life of hell right out of here
No one else can see him, the shape that makes you fall on fallow ground
So lay your burden down in the springtime that surrounds you

It's the darkhorse we give legs to, that I am proud to ride
In the wake of weak beginnings, we can still stand high
You and I, it's you and I
You and I, it's you and I
Still try
