Wild Horses

                          
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain,
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after we die

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
