High Horsies

Why do all relationships have to start in Autumn
While everything else around me seems to die?
Winter is just stalling
Bombs of leaves are falling
The silvery winds, girl, I swear I hear them calling
You say the Fall's for love
So poison me a cup
Oh, when is this damn war gonna end

Go on child, walk on by, put my sanity to the test
Hop on your high horse with the cavalry and leave me with some PTS

The cider, the fires, the breeze
You robbed me of the joy that I once found in these
Associations that make me quiver
Sitting here alone my body all in shivers
Why do I miss you?

None of my senses are comprehending this change
The fragrances are different, and flavors don't taste the same
Your touch was the one that my senses knew
My eyes can't seem to find the seasons in blue
The once familiar faces, I'm afraid, have left with you

Go on child, walk on by, kick me in the mud and leave me to dry
Don't get off your high horse, why even bother with me

So here I am, the post-war blues
While you ride onto another stage
The lights blown out, the curtains drawn, I think I need some milit'ry aid
The memories, they never seem to fade
Night and Day I see you, get out of my dreams
Recollections from another time where I am sane

And will my clarity come back once again?
There's only one cure for the state that I am in
It left me one night down a dark, strange road
a no-man's land before the great unknown
And I've lost it

Go on child, walk on by, put my sanity to the test
Hop on your high horse with the cavalry and leave me with some PTS
Go on child, walk on by, kick me in the mud and leave me to dry
Don't get off your high horse, why even bother with me
