When I Ride Lyrics - Singles - Tania Kernaghan

A black thoroughbred cross and a kid running wild 

we were best friends and free as the wind 

with the warm smell of leather and bridle of a jingle 

we'd gallop down to the river to swim 

and the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart 

I'd drop the reins and open my arms 

CHORUS 

And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind 

I can fly when I ride 

and I feel my soul open wide as the sky 

I can fly when I ride 

Emerald green river flats and the kiss of the sun 

sandy tracks and the dogs'd come behind 

and the willows'd whisper as we cantered along 

'till the evening star came out to shine 

then on our way home I'd lean over his neck 

feel the sting of his mane and let him have his head 

CHORUS 

And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind 

I can fly when I ride 

and I feel my soul open wide as the sky 

I can fly when I ride 

On the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart 

I'd drop the reins and open my arms 

CHORUS 

And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind 

I can fly when I ride 

and I feel my soul open wide as the sky 

I can fly when I ride
