Alexander Crumbsnatcher - A Lesson from a horse

This is a song that i've been working on that has had many incarnations - on synth, on accordion, and now here on a regular piano setting on keyboard. enjoy!

Lyrics -

I'm glad the moon came out early tonight
in case i lose my mind and need something to pray to
and i am grateful for the rain that's on my back
cuz it's gonna take a storm
to wash your words away

and i wonder where you are tonight
though i know it's not safe to
and i can't count the years on all my fingers
i have felt so lost and restless
just wishing for words to say

till i come down
free from any sound
with my face pressed to the ground
on the sidewalk or your street
and i'm gasping deep
you are still the same
that i cannot change
but in the silence of a dream
i can let you out of me

i was a unicorn
with hallway eyes and golden horn
here grazing in a land that's meant for horses
i was looked at from afar
as though beauty set me apart
but my spike grew like a knife
now you will never ever touch me
i thought to be the only one
was what a boy should strive for
but i have learned my lesson from a horse
that to be just one of something
is an awful awful curse

so i come down
free from any sound
with my face pressed to the ground
on the sidewalk of your street
and i'm gasping deep
you are still the same
that i cannot change
but in the silence of a dream
i can let you out of me
