Six White Horses Lyrics

Come here and look through the window Marie



Open the shutters tell me what you see



Was that his knock that I heard on the door



Or is it six white horses coming up the road







Come here and touch me and say that it's alright



You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights



And read again the letter that tells me where he's gone



To hell with the fightin' I want my son home







I taught him to fish and I taught him to be strong



And I taught him that killing any man was wrong



But tommorrow in battle I'd run to where he stood



If the help of a blind man would do any good







Last night I went to his room for a while



And touched all the things that he used as a child



And I rocked the cradle where he used to lay



And found his tin soldiers and threw them away



Come here and look through...
