20 ContributorsTwo Horses Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

I'm a faraway traveller

I travel alone

Searching in the mist

For what I know exists for me

Out there

*Whistling*

[Verse 2]

Solitary awaits me out there

I know she will

She was there before the rain

Before these dunes, before they made

The pyramids

[Chorus]

Oh, waited so long

Have I finally found the road to lead on?

[Verse 3]

The moon was low, and the road dusty

When I was captured by some thieves, my pockets emptied

And I said — "you'll have to kill me

To cut this jewel out of me"

They let me go

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 4]

Stopped at the next bar for a neat drink

Across from where I sat a man gazed at me

He looked just like James Dean

On the silver screen, our eyes did meet

And he winked at me

[Chorus]

Is this the one?

Have I finally found a man to lean on?

"Will you help me and my horses on my way

Through night and day?"

[Bridge]

Oh, I can see my destination on the line

And if the stars are aligned

Not gonna be a next time

I'll check him as he's sleeping

Can never trust a man who's drinking whiskey at the bar alone

But his arms are around your waist

And your hair is blowing in the wind and it felt alright

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And on that second night he came for me

He took a knife out of his boot and silently I learned the truth

He was a liar

A leech and a beggar

And through the embers

I watched him kill my horses

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

River, river take me

Down to the waterfall

Won't come back at all

Just let me fall

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
