White Horses
As the sun slips away from a near perfect day
So the wind brings to life her white horses
They chase the cool breeze on the edge of the waves
Moving any which way the wind courses
Hooves beat the sounds as the waves crash on down
Lashing foam to the brink of the breakers
Her white horses rise to the swell of the tides
Before falling back down to their makers
White horses..... galloping free
White horses..... reined by the sea
White horses..... trapped in her mind
White horses..... in the mind..... of a child
As the darkness approaches her vision grows dim
Yet she still hears their hoof beats so clearly
And the thrashing and churn as they try to break free
Never reaching the shoreline but nearly
Then night time descends and the wind eases off
And the stars lead away her white horses
For the sea is now calm and the air moist and warm
And the night's full of enchanted forces
In a child's mind when the wind blows
And the waves crash water dances
In a child's mind fantasy grows
As white horses she romances
White horses..... galloping free
White horses..... reined by the sea
White horses..... trapped in her mind
White horses..... in the mind..... of a child
