Blue Horses Lyrics

When the horizon got torn up, thrown into the fire

Think you'd seen enough to know

That nothing should come back from here

And they gave you an empty canvas, said to paint some lies

To hide their metal, call our bluff and try to fool our eyes

So you drew dots that started from a shapeless need

Grew into a pattern and soon began to breathe

So do you need a little push?

Do you need a little darkness to get you on your feet?

In the dark and hollow landscape

There are Blue Horses run free upon the tide

Come catch them by their manes

If you dare to take a ride

Just a few small strokes at first in a vibrant shock of blue

And they swirled and gathered force

Took form and grew

Into shade and sinew, breath and beating hearts

Which pounded life back to us, right back to us

From the endless death

In the dark and hollow landscape

There are Blue Horses run free upon the tide

Come catch them by their manes

If you dare, if you dare

(Do you need a little push?)

(Do you need a little darkness to get you on your feet?)

In the dark and hollow landscape

There are Blue Horses run free upon the tide

Come catch them by their manes

If you dare to take a ride

So do you need a little push?

Do you need a little darkness to get you on your feet?
