Celestial Horses
[Verse 1]
Here come those silver celestial horses
Rays of the moon in the mountain air
I'm steeped in the steam of the last wild hot spring
Maybe I'm melting but I don't care
[Chorus]
There's darkness in the canyon
But the light comes pounding through
For me
And for you
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow may be a hissing blowtorch
Maybe a silken sky shaken by the wind
That whirls in the wake of those whispering horses
But there's always a pillar of cloud on the valley's rim
[Chorus]
There's darkness in the canyon
But the light comes pounding through
For me
And for you
[Verse 3]
Still river full of the depths of the candles
Burning for the free ones riding on the other shore
Even at the heart of these breathing shadows
You can feel us gathering at the door
[Chorus]
There's darkness in the canyon
But the light comes pounding through
For me
And for you
For me
And for you
