Wild Horses Lyrics

childhood living
is easy to do
the things you wanted
well i bought them for you
and graceless lady
you know who i am
you know i can't let you
ah slide through my hands
wild horses
couldn't drag me away
wild, wild horses
couldn't drag me away

i watched you suffer
a dull aching pain
now you've decided
to show me the same
no sweeping exits
or offstage lines
can make me feel bitter
or treat you unkind
wild horses
couldn't drag me away
wild, wild horses
couldn't drag me away

i know i dreamed you
a sin and a lie
i have my freedom
but i don't have much time
faith has been broken
tears must be cried
come on let's do some living
after we die
wild horses
couldn't drag me away
wild, wild horses
we'll ride them someday
