[ti:Ballad Of A Runaway Horse] [ar:Emmylou Harris] [al:Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems (Digital Version)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Ballad Of A Runaway Horse - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯) [00:05.38]Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away [00:10.05] [00:10.77]She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray [00:15.51] [00:16.06]But the river's in flood and the roads are awash [00:21.02]And the bridges break up in the panic of loss [00:27.71] [00:31.24]And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go [00:36.44]He's gone like the summer gone like the snow [00:41.47]And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song [00:46.84]As the day caves in and the night is all wrong [00:53.87] [00:57.23]Did she dream it was he who went galloping past [01:02.37]And bent down the fern broke open the grass [01:07.20] [01:07.86]And printed the mud with the well hammered shoe [01:12.86]That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth [01:20.62] [01:23.33]And although he goes grazin' a minute away [01:28.38]She tracks him all night she tracks him all day [01:33.56]And she's blind to his presence except to compare [01:38.90]Her injury here with his punishment there [01:46.31] [01:49.27]Then at home on a branch on a high stream [01:53.89] [01:54.41]A songbird sings out so suddenly [01:59.58]And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride [02:04.89]On a willow tree by the riverside [02:12.02] [02:14.80]An the world is sweet and the world is wide [02:19.89]He's there where the light and the darkness divide [02:25.27]And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy [02:30.69]And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky [02:38.83] [02:40.85]And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame [02:45.51] [02:46.02]He longs to be lost she longs for the same [02:50.53] [02:51.39]And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass [02:56.46]To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass [03:04.91] [03:06.97]Or he'll make a break for the high plateau [03:12.01]Where there's nothing above and noting below [03:16.67] [03:17.18]It's time for their burden the whip and the spur [03:22.54]Will she ride with him or will he ride with her [03:29.92] [03:32.53]So she binds herself to her galloping steed [03:38.01]And he binds himself to the woman in need [03:42.89]And there is no space just left and right [03:48.06]And there is no time but there is day and night [03:56.07] [03:58.38]Then she learns on his neck and whispers low [04:03.26] [04:04.24]Whither thou goest I will go [04:08.75]And they turn as one and the head for the plain [04:13.35] [04:13.90]No need for the whip oh no need for the rain [04:21.97] [04:24.21]Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight [04:29.01] [04:29.59]Who snaps it asunder the very next night [04:34.46] [04:35.25]Some say it's him some say it's her [04:39.63]Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair [04:47.81] [04:50.55]So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by [04:55.12] [04:55.81]That old silhouette on the great western sky [05:00.76] [05:01.27]And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along [05:05.97] [05:06.49]And they're gone like smoke [05:09.82] [05:10.63]And they're gone like this song [05:15.75] [05:16.98]Say a prayer for the cowgirl
