Nina Gordon - Horses In The City lyrics

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 streetlights 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 i wonder if i'll live long enough to sing again 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
