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 decided 
to show me the same. 
No sweeping exits 
or offstage lines 
could 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 some day. 

Wild horses 
couldn't drag me away.
Wild, wild horses
we'll ride them some day.
