half wild horses Lyrics

Roll back the dial

Hear the heartache in fits and bursts

Static keeping time

Pavement humming every verse

There's half wild horses

Running cross the Western Slope

Heard they're up to fifty thousand

Twice as much as it can hold

A decade of heat compounded

A countryside wonderfully uncouth

You wanted to dance around it

But look at the way the body blooms

Silence hanging heavy

I keep shooting till I say it right

Some kind of hero

Walking through a minefield twice

High mountain meadow

Sun shower, middle of May

Your arms full of bluebells

Dark hair stuck to your face

A decade of heat compounded

A countryside wonderfully uncouth

You wanted to dance around it

But look at the way the body blooms

Like the sun

Through the dust

Wrap me up

Little cuss

Like the sun

Through the dust

Light me up

Little cuss

A decade of heat compounded

A countryside wonderfully uncouth

You wanted to dance around it

But look at the way the body blooms
