All The Horses Running Lyrics

have you seen the horses running

racing through the fields like fire

copper chestnut gold and amber

all the colours of desire 



in the blue-gold August weather

seven friends ride out together

scent of hay and creak of leather

and all the horses running 



above the hills at Pincher Creek

the mountains rise like
thunder

below, the prairie plain rolls on forever

Dan sitting easy
on the rangy grey

Robin laughing on the little bay

when all at once
time falls away

like all the horses running... 



back on the
edge of seventeen

when first I saw them long ago

the horses moving
like a dream

that summer in the Gatineau 



on the back roads
with Ronnie in his beat-up car

flying gravel, smell of tar

and oh
we almost got as far

as all the horses running 



above the
hills at Fortune Lake

the night sky rose like thunder

below the
valley lights stretched on forever

overhead the stars rained down

loons were calling all around

and in my ears a rushing sound

like all the horses running 



those who pray can have their
heaven

dim and distant, unforgiving

oh let this day be my
religion

in the hills alive and living 



for I have seen the
horses running

all the colours of desire

copper chestnut gold and
amber

they're in my blood like fire
