Track 5 on Forever Howlong (Collector’s Edition)
Two Horses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m a faraway traveller
I travel alone
Searching in the mist
For what I know exists for me
Out there
[Verse 2]
Solitary awaits me out there
I know she will
She was there before the rain
Before these dunes, before they made
The pyramids
[Chorus]
Oh, waited so long
Have I finally found the road to lead on?
[Verse 3]
The moon was low, and the road dusty
When I was captured by some thieves, my pockets empty
And I said — “you’ll have to kill me
To cut this jewel out of me”
They let me go
[Verse 4]
Stopped at the next bar for a neat drink
Across from where I sat a man gazed at me
He looked just like James Dean
On the silver screen, our eyes did meet
And he winked at me
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
[Chorus]
Is this the one?
Have I finally found a man to lean on?
“Will you help me and my horses on our way
Through night and day?”
[Bridge]
Oh, I can see my destination on the line
And if the stars are aligned
Not gonna be a next time
I’ll check him as he’s sleeping
Can never trust a man who’s drinking whiskey at the bar alone
But his arms are around your waist
And your hair is blowing in the wind and it felt alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And on that second night he came for me
He took a knife out of his boot and silently I learned the truth
He was a liar
A leech and a beggar
And through the embers
I watched him kill my horses
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
River, river take me
Down to the waterfall
Won’t come back at all
Just let me fall
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
