JD Souther - Tenderness

Horses in Blue

Like a bird with wings of stone
Barely moving, bound for home
Each of us wakes up alone
I'll be coming by

Hush now baby, close your eyes
Things will be better if you just try
To hear the wind and touch the sky
I'll be coming by

You can talk about it but the love still grows
If wishes were horses in blue

I'd be trampled in my dreams
What can I do?
I'm so in love
I'm so in love with you

Heavy-hearted mockingbird
Never sang; was never heard
Waiting for the perfect word
She lost her will to fly

So hush now ... don't be blue
If you were me and I were you
We'd still not know what to do
But I'd be coming by

You can talk about it but the love still grows
If wishes were horses in blue
I'd be trampled in your dreams
What could I do?
I'm still in love
I'm so in love with you

Up there where the air turns white
No more sound, no more light
in that endless perfect night ...

Talk about it but the love still grows
If wishes were horses in blue
I'd be trampled in my dreams
What can I do?
I'm so in love

I'm so in love

I'm so in love with you
