Dark Horse

Dark Horse 

You're a flying dark horse

A powerful force

A maniacal killer on the run from the law.

You're a son of a gun

And some dangerous fun

You're the love words that stick in my craw.

You're some body's baby

And every one's maybe

You're the ghost in the house in the dark.

You're the star and the moon

And the taste and the tune

You're the cold and the fire and the spark.

You're the tuxedo-ed cat

And the sneak of a rat

You're the mischievous laugh of a child.

You're the highs and the lows

You're the whys and don't knows

And the smile of your lips makes me wild.

You're the tops of the trees

And the cool of the breeze

You're the rose in the snow laying bare.

You're the faint light of dawn

You're the dew on the lawn

And you'll leave me but I do not care.

You're the pleasure and pain

And the sun and the rain

You're the strike of the snake in my heart.

You're the life and the death

And the drawing of breath

And the horse that is pulling my cart.

You're the here and the gone

And what's right with my wrong

You're the candle that lights up my night.

You're the villain and hero

Taking all, leaving zero

You're the wind blowing out of my sight.

You're the love of my life

And my passion and strife

You're the perfect ideal full of flaws.

You're the life that I choose

And the life I will lose

You're the rebel that runs from the cause.

You're the grit and the glory

The wheel spinning this story

You're the sweetest of bittersweet lies.

You're the beginning and end

You're my best and worst friend

You're my lover till that dark horse flies.

Where Could I Go?

soundtrack


Where Could I Go?

Without you in my dream-filled arms

Down where the hopeful meet

I'd never know what love looks like

Or how it tastes so sweet.

Without you running down that road

In misty morning air

I'd never see the sun light rise

Like halos in your hair.

I'd never hear the song bird's song

And the joy that shines in eyes

I'd never know the ring of truth

That separates the lies.

I could not know the touch of bliss

That visits at that gate

Could only long for a tender kiss

To come and change my fate.

But there you are, and there you stand

With arms out-stretched to me

And there I run in breathless haste

To where you'll always be.

In dreams, as perfect as a rose

In sleep, where dreams come true

In midnight lands where dreamers flee,

I flee, and search for you.

For in this world, you do not dwell

On east or western shore

Your spirit passed this way but once

And caught my eyes no more.

Yet every night I hear your call

Your voice so low and deep

You say my name and I awake

There in the realm of sleep.

And hand in hand, we run and run

From daybreak's heartless sorrow

To find the night that has no end

That always comes tomorrow.

Where could I go but to my dreams?

No love waits at the dawn

My life's a lonely, loveless thing

Since you've grown wings and flown.

Where could I go? Where could I find

The love I miss so much

There in the green fields of the heart

Mere deserts, without your touch?

Perhaps one day I'll come to you

Though I don't know if that will be

Till then, I'll run through these days to night

When you can come to me.
