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
