Lyrics:
There used to be horses here
Where the grass was left to grow wild
Behind the white picket fence
That seemed to go on for a mile

There used to be horses here
On the way up Yellow Springs Road
Beautiful amber manes
With the sun gleaming off of their coats

And I wanted to see them that day in October
Running fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time, one more time

There used to be horses here
My father knew the owner from church
They’ve torn down the old brick house
Now there’s just a big hole in the earth

And I wanted to see them that day in October
Running fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time, one more time

There used to be horses here
When Dad had his house in the trees
Wherever they took them
I hope it’s a place they run free

And I wanted to see them that day in October
Running fast up the hill to the sky
I wanted to see them in perfect formation
One more time

And I came back to see him so I could remember
The faded blue of his eyes
I wanted to see him fly off to forever
One more time…
