There Used To Be Horses Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There used to be horses here Where the grass was left to grow wild Behind the white picket fence That seemed to go on for a mile [Verse 2] There used to be horses here On the way up Yellow Springs Road Beautiful amber manes And the sun gleamin' off of their coats [Chorus] And I wanted to see them that day in October Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky I wanted to see them in perfect formation One more time, one more time [Verse 3] There used to be horses here My father knew the owner from church They've torn down the old brick house Now there's just a big hole in the earth [Chorus] And I wanted to see them that day in October Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky I wanted to see them in perfect formation One more time, one more time [Verse 4] There used to be horses here When Dad had his house in the trees Wherever they took them I hope it's a place they run free [Chorus] And I wanted to see them that day in October Runnin' fast up the hill to the sky I wanted to see them in perfect formation One more time And I came back to see him so I could remember The faded blue of his eyes I wanted to see him fly off to forever One more time One more time One more time
