Mary Coughlan Ride On
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
