about

Taken from the 2011 EP 'Baby We Were Born To Die'. Based on a short story by Raymond Carver.

lyrics

Come over to the window now
There's something you must see
There's seven snow white horses
From some paddock broken free
They're standing in the yard tonight
Like unmoored, drifting boats
So let's go out into the air
And see them from up close

I will go outside with you
But that's far as I will go
It's all become as clear as white
And both of us should know
For too long you have built your fence
Of wire around my life
You're not my husband anymore
I am not your wife

I never meant you any harm
And you meant none to me
But something’s come upon us
From our long vast history
You’ve had a life apart from ours
You’re deception has run wild
And I was cruel and secretive
As thoughtless as a child.


I wish I was a wild horse
And was not what I am
I think maybe you feel the same
Is that how this all began
Everyone wants to be free
Of others and themselves
But freedom gained is just to be
A slave to something else
