Horses in the City - Nina Gordon

They walk the horses home at night right by my window

They pull their carriages along busy city streets

It’s from another time, it’s like a lullaby

But I don’t think that I can sleep tonight

So I, count the street lights, I count the stars

I make a wish and wonder where you are

I wonder if I’ll live long enough to feel again

Help me 'cause I’m falling out of grace

I hang my head and hide my face

I don’t know what it is I just feel out of place

Like horses in the city

I played the game, I dropped the ball, I lost another friend

I gained a future but I can’t see where the future ends

I’d write a letter or write a song

But once again my voice just comes out wrong tonight

I wonder if I’ll live long enough to sing again

Help me 'cause I’m falling out of grace

I hang my head and hide my face

I don’t know what it is I just feel out of place

Like horses in the city

But they don’t seem frightened

As the cars go speeding by

So why am I so terrified

To close my eyes tonight?

I’m just afraid there’s no time, no time

This time

They walk the horses home at night right by my window

They pull their carriages along busy city streets

I wonder if they’ll live to run without the reins again

Help me 'cause I’m falling out of grace

I hang my head and hide my face

I don’t know what it is I just feel out of place

No, don’t know what it is, know what it is

I just feel out of place

And I don’t know what it is, know what it is

I just feel out of place

Like horses in the city

In the city
