Lyrics Nina Gordon – Horses In The City

streetlights i count the stars i make a wish and
wonder where you are i wonder if i’ll live long
enough to feel again help me ’cause i’m falling out
of grace i hang my head and hide my face i don’t
know what it is i just feel out of place like horses in
the city i played the game i dropped the ball i lost
another friend i gained a future but i can’t see
where the future ends i’d write a letter or write a
song but once again my voice just comes out
wrong i wonder if i’ll live long enough to sing again
but they don’t seem frightened as the cars go
speeding by so why am i so terrified to close my
eyes tonight i’m just afraid there’s no time no time
this time they walk the horses home at night right
by my window they pull their carriages along busy
city streets i wonder if they’ll live to run without the
reins again
