Horses

Lyrics

In my heart, if that is where one feels, I shall feel Your head lying back, sending peels Of laughter, to ring the world like a bell I ring to call you here to me

Telephone, telephone, please end my blues When I'm alone if it can be done You know that I for one would be so very grateful

Is that a horse, whose footsteps I hear approaching on the run From some strange unknown danger, or just my heart Beating so noisily? One never really knows Till it's far too late to see

Better late than never Oh Louise, won't you please Tie my running heart, please tie it to your gate

It's the sun we wait for in the morning And the moon We long to see setting in the evening when night lies ahead And day is through I'll spend the night with you instead
