Six White Horses

from Beam by Benoit

/

lyrics

It sure does feel not so long ago when everything was fine
We'd go for a drive up that winding road to spend a Sunday time
It felt like we had set the sails to a land afar
To a land afar

Though I know there won't be anymore vanilla afternoons
I wish you could see but six white horses took you home too soon

Around the bend of that old dirt road there stands a home of old
We'd lose ourselves and lose our time, listen to stories told
Our minds were light and burden free like the leaves in spring
Like the leaves in spring

Though I know there won't be anymore cola afternoons
I wish you could see but six white horses took you home too soon

I'd never seen him like that day it broke my heart in two
A speech of a lifetime and of heart, of a love so true
I'll remember well the day he knew like it was today
Like it was today

She had a voice of lady fair sure of what she said
She'd collect the things that they called old, she called them home instead
A wife, mother, and grandmother, she was more than this it's known
She was more than this it's known

So although she did depart and leave us with a hole
I know we are bound to cross paths at the curtain call
A toast to you and all your years
We'll see you sometime soon
