lyrics

You’re sitting on your high horse
looking at the world through rosey eyes
a broken thought is all that you require
to justify the numbness in your mind

We’ve been on this trail for weeks now
heading to the borders of this land
But you can’t see the edges
and though you put them there towards them you are blind

And the road is steep
and the road is long – but I will get there in the end

The winter’s getting colder
bleaker than it’s been for many days
you pull a shell around you as we ride
the horses slide upon the icy glaze

break the river’s icy edges
stir the shining pebbles in the flow
searching for a rock that’s not for fools
but in the steely pools the fever grows

And the road is steep
and the road is long – but I will get there in the end

and your venomous eyes whip me on towards the end
all the things that you scream at the pool by the bend
so I help you to search for the gold in the depths
and I will get there in the end

south to California
skirting to the west of the cascades
saddle bags are heavy from the north
but the ghost of you is as light as the sun’s rays

And the road is steep
and the road is long – but I will get there in the end
