I saddled up my pony right
And rode into the ghostly night.
It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open.

I left the only home I knew,
I stayed alive and I found you.
Now I take you where the water's deep
And make the air you breathe so sweet.

But is it not enough to [bad word]  Please?
Let me give you everything you need, please?

We found a way, we found a street,
Directions sweat under the sheets,
And I let you have it, let you have it.

But it can be a lonely place, [bad word]  desire fades.
There's a bright one caught your fancy eye,
It's okay so long as you stay mine.

And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame
That you let other numbers in the game.

Now I suffer for your hungry eye.
Oh why must it see more than mine?
It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster.

But when I ride again into the night
My torch will shoot flames strong and violent,
And my absence will remind you of
How tough it is to be in love.

And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey.
And it works great for you to have your way, hey.

But if the west can be a desperate place
You search all day for just a taste
Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water.

And if you think i've gone too long
Listen the sky will sing this song
As it burns up all the memories
That flow like water out of me.
