A THOUSAND WHITE HORSES

A thousand white horses fallin’ through the night
I’m on my knees ‘neath a northern light
I went out looking’ for a love song for you
But the trees were silent
They were naught but skeletons
The weeds wrapped around the wheat
And I swear something was watching’ from behind the mound

All I wanted was a love song for you
All I wanted was a love song for you

Now a thousand white horses thunder through the forest
I can hear the women of the forest weeping

I think they had all been tossed to the ground
And the mud churned like butter
Gas spewed from the rock
I could see the monarch wrestle with the moth
And I swear something was watching’ from behind the mound

All I wanted was a love song for you
All I wanted was a love song for you

Now a thousand white horses gallop toward the city
The neon lights are blazing, oh they look so pretty
And I think I saw a farmer on the road with a broken trow
And he was all but silent
His eyes to the ground
His little boy stealin’ corn from the sow
And I swear something was watching from behind the mound

All I wanted was a love song for you
All I wanted was a love song for you
