Flying Horses

The river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone And in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own So I picked it up and held it to the sky And in my reflection I knew I was all alone Yeah (yeah) Then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair She had it wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving Gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care Well, she was the prettiest girl I ever saw The stone lay still without a flaw The feelings I had defied the law As I came to, I went to And I took a look, a look down the road To see a badger and a one-eyed toad They didn't say a word they just looked at me With that wise old look of the old (Yeah wise old look of the old) Yeah Then I went down to town To my favorite merry-go-round To the place where magic hoses fly And you seldom see a frown But then I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now (It's all rusty) You see 'cause that stone fell though my pocket And that lock of hair flew away with the wind If you chance to meet upon either Well you know where they've been But don't pick them up or try to find me They're much happier to be on their own Beauty like that knows no home And if you take a look, a look down the road You'll see a badger and a one-eyed toad They won't say a word they'll just look at you With that wise old look of the old (Hey yeah, wise old look of the old, hey yeah) Yeah but then I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses
