Horse

I went down to that old cemetery late last night to find your grave
Though I hadn't visited for years I stumbled to exactly where you lay
Even though I had bury you and our love affair that started seventeen years ago
I still think about you most every day and all the good times to me you'd show

And they say, 'The feeling never goes away
So try to take it day by day'
Yet as I look into those sad, empty eyes
I can't believe the words they pray

So I spent half the night digging up that box with the broken-boned body
So I could have a friend and companion for the devil inside of me
And after I had drained the last drop and it was time to place you back in the pine
By the light of the moon I read the inscription on the stone that marked your tomb
And the name engraved was mine

You know I caught that feeling today because life had worn me down day after day
And as my veins filled with the sludge and the muck and the mud
I lay dying
Only thing I could do was only pray
