Ghost of a Horse

Runnin' around wearin' a gown

My love hit the groun, and soon I caught up.

Needles and pins, where have I been

My heart says let me back in,

but my chest wants to cave in

Oh take please take

oh take these words out of my mouth

Mary Magdalene take this cross off my back now

A ghost of a horse follows me to the end,

oh the end of the barn

where my faith's buried deep in the ground

I lay into the piano

with the pedal pushed down

It rings and it pounds

and my heart, oh it sweeps the ground

Oh (violent) violin strings

they break, oh break to the sound

of horse bones that carried me, oh into this town

Oh take please take

Oh take me please away from this crowd

And I will show you the beauty

of silence and sound

But where oh where is my deep barking hound?

'Cause the beauty of my love is unfound.

And where oh back in the silence now

Oh I wave the boats away from me now

And I saw the ash pour off the bow.

But where have I been

And what did I do?

I let love in

Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue

But where have I been

And what did I do?

I let love in

Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue.
