Four Horses

Four horses pull a carriage through an empty street

And though the day is cold & still they are not

breathing They make no sound at all

As easily as water finds its way to ground

They bleed into the brick and are gone

And I have seen what I have seen as I fall

Like a whisper in the dome of St Paul

The drowning man’s forgot what he’s called

But he illuminates our town for us all

Walk up the narrow staircase from the balcony

And at the top go out and grip the golden railing

The view from up here really takes your breath away

You step out of your skin and you’re gone

So follow me down to the riverside, honey

We can pack our bags and take all our money

We can fly away, we can fly away

Take me down to the railway tracks

We can cross the bridge where the sun sets, baby

We can fly away, we can fly away

Take me down, take me down

Fly away, fly away

The day is cold and still and there’s no reason

To make a sound at all

As easily as water finds its way to ground

And I have seen what I have seen as I fall

Like a whisper in the dome of St Paul

The drowning man’s forgot what he’s called

But he illuminates our town for us all
