Horses

This song makes me think of a certain someone. And Will. And Lyra. And mother.

I ache for them all.

I got me some horses
to ride on, to ride on
they say that your demons
can't go there

so I got me some horses
to ride on, to ride on
as long as your army
stays perfectly still

and maybe I'll find me
a sailor, a tailor
and maybe, together
we'll make mother well

so I got me some horses
to ride on, to ride on
as long as your army
keep perfectly still

you showed me the meadow
and milkwood, and silkwood
and you would if I would
but you never would

so I chased down your posies
your pansies in my hosies
then opened my hands and
they were empty, then

off with Superfly
sniffing a Sharpie pen
honey, it's Bill and Ben
off with Superfly
counting your bees, oh me
honey, like one, two, three
the camera is rolling, it's easy
like one, two, three

and if there is a way
to find you, I will find you
but will you find me if
Neil makes me a tree?

an afro, a pharaoh
I can't go, you said so
but threads that are golden
don't break easily

so I got me some horses
to ride on, to ride on
they say that your demons
can't go there

so I got me some horses
to ride on, to ride on
as long as your army
keeps perfectly still
