The Year Of The Horse

Snow came down It was white on white From the moor to the top of the peaks The coffee shop girl Put a sign outside Said we're closed now due to the freeze The year of confusion The year of the horse A forgone conclusion The gravitational force The year of Illusion An uncharted course We were lost in the year of the horse The bedclothes rolled In a tight little ball On a hook at the foot of the bed We brought her tea and valium She just wanted to get some rest The year of disasters The year of divorce The end of the ever afters The gravitational force The year of confusion An uncharted course We were lost in the year of the horse I saw Jesus in the shadow of a buzzard Saw the devil in the shape of its claw We watched it rise through a break in the sky We stood back and watched it soar The year we were 16 the year of the horse The rush of amphetamine The gravitational force The year of illusion The year of the horse We were lost in the year of the horse
