Live Like Horses

I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown

I stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoes
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the blues

And his promise made was never clear
It just carved itself in me
All I saw was frost inside my head
On the night he said to me

Someday we'll live like horses
Free rein from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

We're the victims of the heartbreak
That kept us short of breath
Trapped above these bloodless streets
Without a safety net

I stood in line to join the trial
One more customer of fate
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gate

On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship
It just made sense to me
I've spent too long in the belly of the beast
And now I shall be free

Live Like Horses

Das Duett mit Luciano Pavarotti:

I can't control this flesh and blood

That's wrapped around my bones

It moves beneath me like a river

Into the great unknown

I stepped onto the moving stairs

Before I could tie my shoes

Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade

Who lived and died the blues

La promessa non fu chiara

S'erra solo impressa in me

Vidi solo il gelo dentro me

Quella notte dise a me

Vivrem comme cavalli

Liberi dai recinti di ferro

Che piu non voglio

Rinnegare i sensi

Su dai fuggiam

Vivrem comme cavalli

We're the victims of the heartbreak

That kept us short of breath

Trapped above these bloodless streets

Without a safety net

I stood in line to join the trial

One more customer of fate

Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train

On the road to the golden gate

Nel deserto la nave abbandonai

Per me aveva senso

Son stato troppo tempo nella bestia

Ed ora saro libero

Someday We'll live like horses

Free reign from your old iron fences

There's more ways than one to regain your senses

Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

Someday

Liberi dai ricenti di ferro

Che piu non voglio

Rinnegare i sensi

Su dai fuggiam

Vivrem comme cavalli
