[Verse 1]

As she walks in the room

Centered and tall

Hesitating once more

And as I take on myself

And the bitterness I felt

I realize that love flows


[Chorus]

Wild, white horses

They will take me away

And the tenderness I feel

Will send the dark underneath

Will I follow?


[Verse 2]

Through the glory of life

I will scatter on the floor

Disappointed and sore

And in my thoughts I have bled

For the riddles I've been fed

Another lie moves over


[Chorus]

Wild, white horses

They will take me away

And the tenderness I feel

Will send the dark underneath

Will I follow?

[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Wild, white horses

They will take me away

And the tenderness I feel

Will send the dark underneath

Will I follow?


[Instrumental Outro]
