lyrics

You went, and your mother came
I stand here looking at her though yesterday I walked the hills above her grave
I know her face, I know her face
This ghost who has your eyes, but suffers my fate

I'd travel too, just to talk to you
I'd travel too, beneath the blue
And be reminded of what I know
His reigning heavens and my empty house below

What you chase at the front of your head
Does not look back on the skin it sheds
And I know that, to be true
You are to you, to you, an only son when the earth falls through

And it's courage, courage
So you should ride a horse
And on its chest, will shine your force
And your spirit in its wild hair
that and the wind are all you need to deliver you there

Yes, it's courage, courage
That shines black in the night
Reflecting back the steady starlight
And on a horse you'll leave them behind
For the dead are waiting on a cautious soul to help them rise

And I, who am I?
Just a host of a woman you made cry
And she would have ridden at your side
But her heart was too heavy
And you need to fly
