I never been this far before waves across the railing
And I've somehow lost the lights of shore and the outboard motor's failing
Have I ever been this turned around have I been more at your mercy
It's cold I'm stoned I'm watching the boat go down
I'm yours to help or hurt me
Horse no rider
Horse no rider
Horse no rider coming through
I'm running

I make my way the best I can fog against the headlights
And the pale captor waiting at each turning in the roadside
Has my hunger ever been more plain has my need ever been more naked
It's too late in the evening to be ashamed if you're offering I'll take it
Horse no rider
Horse no rider
Horse no rider coming through
I'm running

I could pretend I woke up at your front door unexpected
But you always were the type to know a lie before I said it
So many questions I never asked how could things go so wrong
And what is love anyway but the prettiest bird singing such a bitter song
Horse no rider
Horse no rider
Horse no rider coming through
I'm running
