There Used To Be Horses Here
[Verse 1]
There used to be horses here
Where the grass was left to grow wild
Behind the white picket fence
That seemed to go on for a mile
[Verse 2]
There used to be horses here
On the way up Yellow Springs Road
Beautiful amber manes
And the sun gleamin' off of their coats
[Chorus]
And I wanted to see them that day in October
Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time, one more time
[Verse 3]
There used to be horses here
My father knew the owner from church
They've torn down the old brick house
Now there's just a big hole in the earth
[Chorus]
And I wanted to see them that day in October
Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time, one more time
[Verse 4]
There used to be horses here
When Dad had his house in the trees
Wherever they took them
I hope it's a place they run free
[Chorus]
And I wanted to see them that day in October
Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time
And I came back to see him so I could remember
The faded blue of his eyes
I wanted to see him fly off to forever
One more time
One more time
One more time
