Horses Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

We will fly way up high 

Where the cold wind blows 

Or in the sun laughing having fun 

With lot of people that she knows 

And if the situation should keep us separated 

You know the world won't fall apart 

And you will free the beautiful bird 

That's caught inside your heart 

Can't you hear her? 

Oh, she cries so loud 

Casts her wild note 

Over water and cloud 

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' 

We'll be riding on the horses, yeah 

Way up in the sky, little darlin' 

If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up 

You will grow and until you go 

I'll be right there by your side 

And even then whisper the wind 

And she will carry up your ride 

I hear all the people of the world 

In one bird's lonely cry 

See them trying every way they know how 

To make their spirit fly 

Can't you see him? 

He's down on the ground 

He has a broken wing 

Looking all around 

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' 

You go riding on the horses, yeah 

Way up in the sky, little darlin' 

If you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up 

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' 

You go riding on the horses, yeah 

Way up in the sky, little darlin' 

If you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up 

If you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up 

If you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up 

I'll pick you up darlin' if you fall 

Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl 

Because I was young myself not so long ago 

When I was young, when I was young 

Oh, oh, an' when I was young, I was a wild, wild one
