Six White Horses Lyrics - Henson Cargill

Come here and look through the window Marie 

Open the shutters tell me what you see 

Was that his knock that I heard on the door 

Or is it six white horses coming up the road 

Come here and touch me and say that it's alright 

You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights 

And read again the letter that tells me where he's gone 

To hell with the fightin' I want my son home 

I taught him to fish and I taught him to be strong 

And I taught him that killing any man was wrong 

But tommorrow in battle I'd run to where he stood 

If the help of a blind man would do any good 

Last night I went to his room for a while 

And touched all the things that he used as a child 

And I rocked the cradle where he used to lay 

And found his tin soldiers and threw them away 

Come here and look through...
