Ride on

Christy Moore

 

True you ride the finest horse

I’ve ever seen,

standing sixty one or two

with eyes white and green.

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 in to 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 the spark that lights the night

through a teardrop in my eye.

 

||: Ride on, see you,

I could never go with you

no matter how  I wanted to. :||   (2x)
