My Horse Has Wings

I hope you will forgive me
 I seem to be at a loss for words
 You know they don't come easily
 I've always been a solitary bird
 There's a dark unguarded pass up ahead
 I may not have a prayer of getting through
 And while I'm not prone to displays of emotion
 I find it hard to say goodbye to you
 I ride along the great divide
 Far from the world I have known
 But my heart still sings and my horse has wings
 To fly and carry me home
 And I'd like to rise above it
 But I fear I've fallen prey
 To the forces that I railed against
 In my angry young man days
 At least that's how it feels tonight
 When the world has lost her charms
 In her gaudy dress and her bracelets of gold
 Dangling from her withered arms
 There will be no more tears or lamentations
 I'll take the reins and heed the call
 I'll make that hill by daybreak
 And ride even if I'm riding for a fall
