The Heavy Horses

Whispered To Myself

In the dirty streets of Loreno, I saw you standing there
With the moonlight shining on your coal-black hair
With the darkness all around me, I had trouble finding words
So I'll whisper to myself and prayed you heard
Well you must have been an angel, fallen from the skies
Cause you turned me and I saw heaven in your eyes

You were promised to another who'd wed your heart one day
So you woke one night and softly slit that fate away
When I found you in the crisp dawn of morning, with bloodstains on your clothes
With your hands as tools, it was me your heart had chose
And we went to seek your forgiveness, but the red sand turns to clay
And we asked the Lord to wash your sins away

Then I lost your love forever where the river meets the land
When the swiftness swept your life out of my hands
And I swear that I could hear laughter, as the heavens shook and cracked
And I cursed the god, who in envy, took you back
My heart, it raged like the river, and my tears fell like the rain
And I found myself alone in darkness, once again
