Lyrics Ride On - Christy Moore

Ride On

True, you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen
Standing sixteen, one or two
With eyes wide and green
And you ride the horse so well
Hands light to the touch
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night
Without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space
Where you used to lie
And look for a spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in my eye
