Summary
[ Content Index | Lyrics ]
I actually have an entire set of lyrics based on this one song, which is just plain wrong.
Apparently, I'm prone to do this because Single White Horse wasn't the first, second, or even tenth time I've tried to pry a set of poems out of one half-way decent one.
Horse isn't that good, but I like the tune, the top two lines and the first two lines of the chorus so much that I wanted to post it.
This was suppose to be some life-to-death transitional piece, but that is a pretty far mark and this song fell way short.

Sailing down the destiny river
M'lady luck held my cards, I shivered
Gazing up towards a canvas of stars
I realize my dreams are just too far
The river blue turns gold by the bayside
Walking the sandy shore at low tide
Across the land of amber and acorn
My bleeding heart yearns for my love, alorn [sic]
Little angelic fairies whisper the way
While drowning away my sorrows one meaningless day
In the pasture of soul, a single white horse
Is awaiting a bitter rider, filled with remorse
Wild Horses!
In every single drop of gin
Wild Horses!
Deliver me from mortal sin
On a crossroad between meadow and mountain
One repulsing the other long forgotten
A single white horse in the meadow of the damned
Awaiting the arrival of the wicked man
