In the golden Halloween weather
seven friends ride out together
scent of hay and the crisp scent of new leather
and all the horses running

above the water in Vancouver
the mountains rise like thunder
below, the water in the ocean goes on forever
Kelly relaxed on the big grey
Dianna laughing on the little bay
when time all at once time falls away
like all the horses running…..

back when I turned thirteen
when I bought my first horse
the horses moving like a dream
the summer living at the farm

galloping on hacks with Katie
up and down the hills in our secret spot
jumping whatever got in our way
and all the horses running

Galloping down the beach with Vanessa in Dahab, Egypt
the sound of the horses hooves on the sand
Miles and miles of bare untouched sand
One time in my life I felt in total control
in my ears was the reassuring sound
like all the horses running

let those who pray have their heaven
unsure and unforgiving
let this day be my religion
the sand and water rushing past me

For I have seen the horses running
all the colours of desire
copper, chestnut, gold and amber
they’re in my blood like fire
