I saddled up my pony right

And rode into the ghostly night

It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open



I left the only home I knew

I stayed alive and I found you

Now I take you where the water's deep

And make the air you breathe so sweet



But is it not enough to be complete? Please?

Let me give you everything you need, please?



We found a way, we found a street

Directions sweat under the sheets

And I let you have it, let you have it



But it can be a lonely place

Desire comes, desire fades

There's a bright one caught your fancy eye

It's okay so long as you stay mine



And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame

That you let other numbers in the game



Now I suffer for your hungry eye

Oh why must it see more than mine?

It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster



But when I ride again into the night

My torch will shoot flames strong and bright

And my absence will remind you of

How tough it is to be in love



And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey

And it works great for you to have your way, hey



But if the west can be a desperate place

You search all day for just a taste

Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water



And if you think i've gone too long

Listen the sky will sing this song

As it burns up all the memories

That flow like water out of me
