Joe Henry - Remember Wild Horses lyrics

This daughter of the night of Columbus Friend to moonbeams, painter's brushes There was not a single among us Who thought she'd be alone Now she loves her nieces and all her nephews Queen's tea and the good view The bu*terfly wings and the coneflowers Run back behind her home Hey, remember wild horses running on With the morning in their eyes Ears pinned back on a free land, under free blue skies You don't have to wipe away your tears Go on and let them fall You're just remembering wild horses is all Down at the world away, I saw an old buddy Laughing at his beard I said, "man what's so funny?" Looked up at me like he wanted to punch me He said, "nothing's funny Not a damn thing's funny, I I loved her for so long I believed that she loved me I promised her, she promised me." Hey, remember wild horses running on With the morning in their eyes Ears pinned back on a free land, under free blue skies You don't have to wipe away your tears Go on and let them fall You're just remembering wild horses is all [instrumental] Well, his mind was racked And his body played tricks Would not be long until it flat out quit Tall sticks and a bag of old leathers Alone in his room with a ghost of past summers He can see her now, he can see her now Sunlight through a camisole One hand over an eye to block the sun Waiting by the window for the only one Hey, remember wild horses running on With the morning in their eyes Ears pinned back on a free land, under free blue skies You don't have to wipe away your tears Go on and let them fall You're just remembering wild horses is all Hey, remember wild horses running on With the morning in their eyes Ears pinned back on a free land, under free blue skies You don't have to wipe away your tears Go on and let them fall You're just remembering wild horses is all You're just remembering wild horses is all You're just remembering wild horses is all
