Broken Horse Lyrics by Freelance Whales

Weathervanes

2009

[Verse 1: Judah Dadone]
October's got those orange eyes
But somehow I still lost sight
When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head
And kissed me goodnight
Should it be a thorn in my side
We never quite broke that horse
She slept in the cul-de-sac rye
Seven miles from my front porch
[Verse 2: Judah Dadone]
Bundle up and come with me now
Down the road to the burnt down barn
We could make a blanket of coats
And breathe our souls into the neighbor's front lawn
But, oh god, that look in your eye
Trouble that does not search words
It sprung from the biblical vine
And are waiting to return to the dirt
[Chorus: Judah Dadone, Freelance Whales]
[Vocalizing rhythm]
The stitches in your winter clothes
Your cello bows
We stole your hair to make them
We're sorry for the iron shoes
We nailed to you
And stuck you in the rain, and then
You sprinted away, sprinted away
To where? I don't know
A god's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
[Bridge: Freelance Whales]
[Vocalizing riff]
[Verse 3: Judah Dadone]
You swept all the red from my cheeks
I didn't hear you come back inside
I light up the gas in the den
And stand there in the thin winter light
But, oh god, that curve in your spine
A question mark. A doctor sign
Was framed by the windowsill and
You saw something I did not in the night
You saw something I did not in the night
[Chorus: Judah Dadone, Freelance Whales, Judah Dadone & Doris Cellar]
[Vocalizing rhythm]
The stitches in your winter clothes
Your cello bows
We stole your hair to make them
We're sorry for the iron shoes
We nailed to you
And stuck you in the rain, and then
You sprinted away, sprinted away
To where? I don't know
A god's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
[Outro: Judah Dadone, Freelance Whales]
A god's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god is moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god is moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
It's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god is moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
It's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god is moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
It's moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A god is moving in your bloodstream
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
