Jesse Malin - Tall Black Horses Lyrics

She didn't like the parties
She dressed in gray and black
Our love felt like Easter
Always coming back

She came from crooked parents
Balanced it with dance
She hid out in her pages
To graduate with grants
So long

But someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize
All over town I'm the man who aches for you

We talked of San Sebastian
And played Sketches of Spain
We slept safe and silent
She didn't trust her pain
Seven sins and oceans
I thought I'd get her back
Well I looked in the mirror
And it was just as black

Cause someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize
All over town I'm the man who aches for you

Can't you see my love for you
Can't you see it shining through

But someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize all over town I'm the man who aches for you

She didn't like the parties
She dressed in gray and black
Our love felt like Easter
Always coming back

She came from crooked parents
Balanced it with dance
She hid out in her pages
To graduate with grants
So long

But someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize
All over town I'm the man who aches for you

We talked of San Sebastian
And played Sketches of Spain
We slept safe and silent
She didn't trust her pain
Seven sins and oceans
I thought I'd get her back
Well I looked in the mirror
And it was just as black

Cause someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize
All over town I'm the man who aches for you

Can't you see my love for you
Can't you see it shining through

But someone's always breaking my heart

Ride on through on those tall black horses
Why be blue when forever being born
All you need is a little protection
When you realize all over town I'm the man who aches for you
