lyrics

Ghost of a Horse

Running around, wearing a gown, my love hit the ground, and soon, I caught up

Needles and pins, where have I been, my heart says let me back in, but my chest,wants to cave in

Oh take, please take these words, out of my mouth.

Mary Magdalene take this cross off my back now

A ghost of a horse, follows me to the edge, oh the edge of the barn where my faith is buried deep in the ground

I lay into the piano with the pedal pushed down, it rings and it pounds and my heart, oh it sweeps the ground

Oh violin strings they break, oh break to the sound. Of horse bones that carried me, oh into this town. Oh take, please take, oh take me please away from this crowd, and I will show you, the beauty of silence in sound

But where, oh where, is my deep barking hound? ‘Cause the beauty of my love is unfound, and where oh there, in the silence now, oh I wave the boats away from me now, and I saw the ash poured off the bow

But where have I been and what did I do? I let love in, now I’m left, with my friend old blue. But where have I been and what did I do? I let love in, now I’m left, with my friend old blue

This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten
