"Wild Horses" lyrics - THE WATERBOYS

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I have let you slide through my hands.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.
