Cover art for Wildfire lyrics by Michael Martin Murphy

Excellent interpretation Cache Kid. Only one small correction. The horse Wildfire was not spooked by something. The horse busts down his stall BECAUSE the girl dies. I think he knew she was sick, and when she doesn't come to him, he knows she has passed and breaks down the stall. But it happens AFTER she dies.

Song Meaning

Further review, I might be off. Looks like the pony busts it's stall, and the girl goes into a blizzard looking for him, get's lost and dies.

Ditto.
