Even My Horse Knows I’m To Blame

6.18.2020

 

I’m just waiting

For the lightning to strike

Hear the clap of thunder

And I just might

Ride my horse into the rain

Like a banshee, scream

I’d call out your name

 

But you would not hear

Think I know

No, I know

I fear

 

You had waited

For the lightning to strike

Heard the clap of thunder

Rode your horse into the rain

You rode away

You made your way

Far, far away

So you could not hear me call your name

 

Even my horse knows 

I’m to blame

And besides

My horse

He hates the rain

 

I’m still waiting

Though the lightning did strike

Heard the clap of the thunder

But now it’s night

And my tears

They fall like rain

Still

With a banshee scream

I call out your name

 

But you cannot hear

Think I know

No, I know

I fear

 

You’d waited

For the lightning to strike

Heard the clap of thunder

And now it’s night

Rode your horse into the rain

You rode away

You made your way

Far, far away

So you could not hear me call your name

 

I don’t blame you

How could I when

Even my horse knows

I’m to blame

 

And though I am to blame

Through light of lightning strike

I see your horse

Back with you it came

It brought you both

Back home again

Even my horse knows

You heard your name

And as you already know

He hates the rain

 

I don’t deserve the light of lightning

Nor the thunder of your horse’s steps

But the mercy of

A second chance

More than I could ask to get

Even my horse knows the same

Even my horse knows I’m to blame
