Horses Are Gone

from Only Ghosts by Only Ghosts

/

lyrics

Verse 1
tumbleweed blows round an around, like we're livin' in a ghost town
no rain just hard times are falling down,even the timber wolf is lonely now
well worn saddles hangin' in the yard ain't no use now the horses gone
cold flat land under a burnin' sun, holdin' on you know we're holdin' on

Chorus
50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light
empty diners an empty mines, just you and me and the great divide

Verse 2
work this land and even though i try, all i'm growin' is old and tired
steam trains whistle on a prarie night, echoing through canyons of river beds dry
playin. dead mans bluff now with your faded cards, boarded up mansions and those ghost filled yards
like an island in a sea of sharks, when our progress really cuts us off

Chorus
we are 50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light
empty diners and empty mines, just you and me and the great divide

Guitar solo

Chorus
we are 50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light
empty diners and empty mines, just you and me and the great divide


I'm a relic of a bygone age, hard times are written on my face
they say some things will never last, small footnote in a faded photograph
