Feed And Water The Horses Lyrics - Beauty Queen Sister - Indigo Girls

Tell me dark heart of my deep sleep 

where the past drops in like unwanted guests 

rattling their chains of thought, shuffling their feet 

peering into things I thought I'd laid to rest 

and for all I've left undone there's another dream to come 

once there were wars fought over spice and salt 

and the stick of gold became the standard measure 

nothing much has changed in this modern age 

and it won't until the pain's not worth the pleasure 

and for all we've left undone 

there's another war to come. 

I want to feed and water the horses, 

the course is long and dry 

Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried 

we may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by 

Feed and water the horses 

where they lie. 

I miss the smell of ink on paper and it's morning pull 

all the news comes via link now all so virtual 

I don't know what to think 

I don't know what to feel 

the beginning of the end or reinvention of the wheel

and for all we've left undone 

we are still evolution 

I want to feed and water the horses, 

the course is long and dry 

Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried 

we may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by 

Feed and water the horses 

where they lie. 

I realize that the beast lie there in our plans 

peacefully sleeping, but faithfully keeping 

they're ready for the burden man 

but if you knew something (peacefully sleeping) 

they'd take you to something (faithfully keeping) 

you are dying for your burden man (they're ready for the burden man) 

Wouldn't you need it? (Wouldn't you need it?) 

Wouldn't you feed it? (Wouldn't you feed it?) 

Wouldn't you praise it evermore? 

Feed and water the horses 

the course is long and dry 

Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried 

we may not deserve you. We'll come to serve you by and by 

Feed and water the horses where they lie.
