The Horses (Live Acoustic Version)
We will fly way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughing having fun
With all the people that she knows
And if the situation keeps us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart
Your heart
Cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
Yeah, you're riding on the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
On the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
If you fall
You will grow and grow until you go
I will be right there, right there
And even then you whisper to the wind
And she will carry up your ride
'Cause I hear all the people in the world
In a little bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly, see him?
He's down on the ground
He has a broken wing
Looking all around
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horse, yeah yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
If you fall, I'll pick you up
Yeah, if you fall
I'll pick you up, darling
You could always look over your shoulder, and I'm gonna be there
But baby, if you don't fall, if you get it alright, I'll be right there 'til the end
If you fall, if you fall
And if you fall
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughing having fun
With all the people that she knows
And if the situation keeps us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart
Your heart
Cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
Yeah, you're riding on the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
On the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
If you fall
You will grow and grow until you go
I will be right there, right there
And even then you whisper to the wind
And she will carry up your ride
'Cause I hear all the people in the world
In a little bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly, see him?
He's down on the ground
He has a broken wing
Looking all around
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horse, yeah, yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horse, yeah yeah
Up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
If you fall, I'll pick you up
Yeah, if you fall
I'll pick you up, darling
You could always look over your shoulder, and I'm gonna be there
But baby, if you don't fall, if you get it alright, I'll be right there 'til the end
If you fall, if you fall
And if you fall
