Let Me See The Colts

Knocked on your door at dawn
 With a spark in my heart
 I dragged you from your bed
 And said let me see the colts
 That will run next year
 I show them to a gambling man
 I show them to a gambling man
 Thinking of the future
 Let me see the colts
 Let me see the colts
 That will run, that will run next year
 Have you been drinking?
 No, nor sleeping
 The all-knowing all-seeing eye is dog tired
 And just wants to see the colts
 Let me see the colts
 Let me see the colts
 That will run, that will run next year
 We walked out through
 The dew dappled brambles
 And sat upon the fence
 Is there anything as still as sleeping horses?
 Is there anything as still as sleeping horses?
 Let me see the colts
 Let me see the colts
 That will run, that will run next year
 I show them to a gambling man
 I show them to a gambling man
 Thinking of the future
 Let me see the colts
 Let me see the colts
 That will run, that will run next year
