about

written during the weening time of 2 foals and 2 fillies in the Fall of 2017 at an equestrian center in Lakeville, Minnesota. The song came when I dropped my coat and boots at my bedroom door, exhausted from the evening commute home.

lyrics

I had my pick of horses
until that mare stared me down
Wild winds and mud on our courses
never enough to slow us down


As we preside across the prairie
holding out for rain
Then come the babies
you and I must raise
on our own
holding out for rain


Walking with a horse in tow is like
wanting nothing
It's like diving in
head first
from the shore
You can't use your body
anymore


Now we're weening the babies
Send them off on their own
I would choose you as my lady
Lady and I
On our way
Up into the sky
