Ride On - Mary Coughlan

You say you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen

Standing sixteen, one or two

With eyes so wild and green

And you ride that horse so well

With hands light to the touch

But I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you

I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you

I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to

As you ride into the night

Without a trace behind

Run your claw along my gut one last time

I turn to face an empty space

Where you used to lie

I look for the spark to light the dark

Through the teardrops in my eyes

Ride on, see you

I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you

I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to
