From the recording BETWEEN A HORSE AND ME
This song celebrates the unique relationship humans are privileged to experience with horses. And I, like so many who have had their lives enriched by the West and its horses, am deeply grateful for the blessings that Fog, Black Jack, Willy, Sonny and Benz have brought to me throughout my life. There are various animals humans have utilized for transportation - elephants, camels, oxen, asses - but none has carried man with such speed, grace and beauty as the horse. It's no wonder this animal holds such a special place in our hearts and minds
Lyrics
If I had a horse, I’d ride across the ranges of my imaginations and my dreams
If I had a horse, I’d lope, walk and trot, I’d sing, cry and talk of how I feel.
If I had a horse, I would not be so lonely for my one and only who is gone again
‘Cause if I had a horse, I would not be alone, he would take me home at the end of my trail.
If I had a horse
It’s something you can’t see between a horse and me,
It’s in the air, in the air.
Unseen threads between hearts, between heads
It’s meant to be harmony
If I had a horse, I’d ride upon some mountain, far from the crowdin’ of this small town
And if I had a horse, I’d learn to listen to him, I'd feel his spirit moving to the rhythm in my soul.
If I had a horse
Each day would be a treasure, a brand-new adventure,
Oh, the possibilities, I’d see the forest in the trees all around
And I’d find what’s to be found.
If I had a horse, I’d ride across the ranges,
Of my imaginations and my dreams……
If I had a horse
