White Horse Lyrics - Singles - Kevin Coyne

White horse, riding across my mind 

Wearing a band of gold around your hooves 

Collecting the stars, the glint of the stars 

In your great and empty eye 

The drink I drink is a drink as strong as 

The strongest poison in the land 

Riding on the back of my horse with his golden band 

Who catches the stars in his eye 

His great and empty eye 

That had never smiled, never noticed me 

I would like to think of that he dreamt of me 

When he went to sleep at night 

That he thought I was the special thing in his life 

But to those great eyes, they see nothing 

They don't profess poetry 

Don't profess insight into me 

Now I stand on empty man 

Beside the stable door on the stud farm 

And the green and gray attendant 

Hands me straw, says, "Go feed the horses" 

You know, of course he's a dreaming talking horse 

Who wears gold bands around his feet 

And dreams of stars, and dreams of stars 

In his empty eye, in his empty eye
