Tania Kernaghan - When I Ride lyrics

A black thoroughbred cross and a kid running wild we were best friends and free as the wind with the warm smell of leather and bridle of a jingle we'd gallop down to the river to swim and the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart I'd drop the reins and open my arms CHORUS And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind I can fly when I ride and I feel my soul open wide as the sky I can fly when I ride Emerald green river flats and the kiss of the sun sandy tracks and the dogs'd come behind and the willows'd whisper as we cantered along 'till the evening star came out to shine then on our way home I'd lean over his neck feel the sting of his mane and let him have his head CHORUS And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind I can fly when I ride and I feel my soul open wide as the sky I can fly when I ride On the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart I'd drop the reins and open my arms CHORUS And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind I can fly when I ride and I feel my soul open wide as the sky I can fly when I ride
