Dazzle me with your presence

Ah, the world is sweet and the world is wide            

He's there where the light and the darkness divide

And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy                

And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky.

 

And he comes to her hand but he's not really tame

He longs to be lost she longs for the same

And he'll bolt and he'll plunge through the first open pass

To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass.

 

Or he'll make a break for the high plateau

Where there's nothing above and nothing below.

 

*** Ballad of a Runaway Horse written by Leonard Cohen and sung by Emmy Lou Harris
