Wild Horses II

“Where are we going?”
Something you asked me
While time was flowing
Like a river and we
We had it coming
We saw the sunsets
We saw the night turn
It was a safe bet
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
How can a lifetime
Fit in an hour
The sky it opened up
Then came the showers and we
Stopped at some motel
With paper thin walls
And floral linens
And a bible in the drawer
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram’s
We passed the canyons
We passed a fire brigade
Headed up the mountains
They set the woods ablaze
And then we got hungry
Stopped at a diner
You flirted with the waitress
And I didn’t even care
Mmmm
Mmmm
Where do you go to
When you look past me
Do you see yourself
Miserable and free
Such a strange notion
To see you clearly
When love’s shadow
Stood up and left the room
Mmmm
Mmmm
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram’s
“I hate who we’ve become”
Spoken like an absolute
Just listened to you speak
There was nothing to dispute
I guess something shifted
I guess something died
Thought I couldn’t change it
So I didn’t even try
Mmmm
Mmmm
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones and I like Gram’s
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
You prefer the Rolling Stones but I like Gram’s
