Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the riverside today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I was a petty gold thief in the dirt
I took my dog-bite tongue and made you hurt
You were a dove of simple beauty and call
I stood you up just to watch you fall

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the riverside today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I saw you sleeping on the bus last night
I saw your arm around another in the bus light
I kept on driving by the river and fields

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I know he's out there in the desert by the sea
With golden feathers he'll come flying back to me
I'll know him by the lighting around his eyes
He's my protector and he'll keep me alive

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body before I throw it in the bay
