lyrics
Dark horse he rides
And he’s coming in so fast
Can’t you see that he’s able
And guns and his swords
Clanging by his side
As he walks back towards the stable
There’s a tree covered road
On which he likes to ride
And it covers him like a blanket
He falls to his knees
As if you’d understand
We had a boat but you sank it
And the soldiers gather round
Face up with their guns in the ground, saying
There’s nothing we can do here to get this battle won
But we’ll stand here right beside you
In the sunlight, you’ll find them
All the answers that you’ll need
That no sword could ever give you
Confessions in the sand
So he knows not a secret
And he lays down all his weapons
And prepares for the battle
Looks right in her eyes
Says I know where your heart is
And the soldiers gather round
Face up with their guns in the ground, saying
There’s nothing we can do here to get this battle won
But we’ll stand here right beside you
In the sunlight, you’ll find them
All the answers that you’ll need
That no sword could ever give you
