Cover art for Silver Palomino lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Seems a long time since that comment was made. It's interesting, that still seems to be the sort of idea this song gives. Springsteen gives the song a sort of story, a family, a struggle to make ends meet, the passing of those we love. But running through that is this horse, something of great beauty that can never be held on to, just glimpsed.....those are just my thoughts. Does anyone else have any ideas about what this song means? Along with Highway Patrolman and Rosalita this is just about my favourite Springsteen song....
