Hollow Horse |
Be careful what you dream of |
it may come up and surprise you |
I can’t confess my life’s a mess |
I’ve come to idolise you |
You liken it to walking on hot coals |
I’ll keep my boots on |
Wisen up and fly straight |
There’s a shape on the horizon |
In a hollow horse I’ll steal my way |
inside your guarded heart |
So selfishly the needs I harbour |
when we are apart |
My past strung out behind me, |
contradiction and disaster |
I’m in search of charity, |
a union I could master |
We’ll be as we are |
When all the fools |
who doubt us fade away |
Fortune deep and wide |
Intimidated, restless in the wait |
Things I chose to value |
I no longer have a use for |
I ridicule myself for all the things |
those symbols stood for |
When vanity has played a part |
in every leader’s downfall |
Wait to storm the gates, what’s left |
undone to hang around for |
We’ll be as we are |
When all the fools |
who doubt us fade away |
Fortune deep and wide |
Intimidated, restless in the wait |
