Horse No Rider - Josh Ritter Lyrics

Horse No Rider

I never been this far before, waves across the railings, and I've
Somehow, lost the lights of shore, and the outboard motor's failing
Have I ever been this turned around, have I been more at your mercy?
It's cold, I'm stoned, I'm watching the boat go down
I'm yours to help or hurt me

Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider, coming through, I'm running
I'm running
Make my way the best I can, fog against the headlights
And the pale captor waiting at each turning in the roadside
Has my hunger ever been more plain, has my need ever been more naked?
It's too late in the evening to be ashamed, if you're offering, I'll take it

Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider
Horse no rider coming through, I'm running
I'm running

I could pretend I woke up at your front door unexpected
But you always were the type to know a lie before I said it
So many questions I never asked, how could things go so wrong?
What is love anyway but the prettiest bird singing such a bitter song

Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider, coming through
Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider
Horse, no rider, coming through, I'm running
I'm running
