Flying Horses Lyrics - Silent Steeples - Dispatch

The river of doubt gave birth to a, a beautiful stone 

And in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own 

So I picked it up and I held it to the sky 

And in my reflection I knew I was all alone 

Then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair 

She had it wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear 

I asked her for a lock and she complied after leaving 

Gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care 

Well, she was the prettiest girl I ever saw 

And the stone lay still without a flaw 

The feelings I had defied the law 

As I came to and I went to 

And I took a look, a look down the road 

To see a badger and a one eyed toad 

They didn't say a word, they just looked at me 

With that wise old look of the old, the wise old look of the old 

Then I went down to town 

To my favorite merry-go-round 

To the place where magic horses fly 

And you seldom see a frown 

But then I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And I can't begin to explain how 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And it's all rusty now 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And I can't begin to explain how 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And it's all rusty now, it's all rusty 

You see 'cause that stone fell through my pocket 

And that lock of hair flew away with the wind 

If you chance to meet upon either 

Well, you know where they've been 

But don't pick them up or try to find me 

They're much happier to be on their own 

Beauty like that knows no home 

And then if you take a look, a look down the road 

You'll see a badger and a one eyed toad 

They won't say a word, they'll just look at you 

With that wise old look of the old, the wise old look of the old 

But then I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And I can't begin to explain how 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And it's all rusty now 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And I can't begin to explain how 

I stole a ring from the flying horses 

And it's all rusty now
