Dispatch - Flying Horses lyrics

The river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone

And in my hand I held it and I knew I was on my own

So I picked it up and I held it to the sky

And in my reflection, I knew I was all alone, yeah, yeah

Then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair

She had it wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear

I asked her for a lock and she complied

After leaving gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care

Well, she was the prettiest girl I ever saw

And the stone lay still without a flaw

The feelings I had defied the law

As I came to, and I went to

And I took a look, a look down the road

To see a badger and a one-eyed toad

They didn't say a word, they just looked at me

With that wise old look of the old, yeah

The wise old look of the old, yeah

Then I went down to town

To my favorite merry-go-round

To the place where the magic horses fly

And you seldom see a frown

But then I stole a ring from the flying horses

And I can't begin to explain how

I stole a ring from the flying horses

And it's all rusty now

I stole a ring from the flying horses

And I can't begin to explain how

I stole a ring from the flying horses

And it's all rusty now

It's all rusty

You see, 'cause that stone fell through my pocket

And that lock of hair flew away with the wind

If you chance to meet upon either

Well, you know where they've been

But don't pick them up or try to find me

They're much happier to be on their own

Beauty like that knows no home

And then if you take a look, a look down the road

You'll see a badger and a one-eyed toad

They won't say a word, they'll just look at you

With that wise old look of the old, yeah

The wise old look of the old, yeah
