Lyrics
True, you ride the finest horse I've ever seen,
Expressing admiration for the impressive horse the person rides.
Standing sixteen, one or two,
Describing the horse's height, likely emphasizing its strength and stature.
With eyes wide and green,
Highlighting the captivating green color of the horse's eyes.
And you ride the horse so well,
Commending the rider's skill in handling the horse gracefully.
Hands light to the touch,
Noting the rider's gentle and skilled touch while controlling the horse.
I could never go with you
Expressing the speaker's inability to accompany the rider despite the desire.
No matter how I wanted to.
Reiterating the speaker's incapability to join the rider, regardless of the strong desire.
Ride on, see you,
Encouraging the rider to continue their journey, expressing farewell.
I could never go with you
Repeating the speaker's inability to join the rider despite the intense desire.
No matter how I wanted to.
Emphasizing once again the speaker's incapacity to accompany the rider.
When you ride into the night
Describing the rider leaving in the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
Without a trace behind,
Suggesting a sense of mystery or disappearance as the rider ventures into the night.
Run your claw along my gut, one last time.
Symbolic imagery of a parting gesture, possibly signifying a final farewell.
I turn to face an empty space
Turning to face an empty space left by the departed rider.
Where you used to lie,
Expressing the absence of the rider and the void it creates.
And look for a spark that lights the night
Searching for a glimmer of hope or solace in the night sky.
Through a teardrop in my eye.
Conveying the emotional impact through the imagery of a teardrop in the speaker's eye.
Ride on, see you,
Repeating the encouragement for the rider to continue their journey, bidding farewell.
I could never go with you
Restating the speaker's persistent inability to join the rider despite the strong desire.
No matter how I wanted to.
Reiterating the enduring incapacity of the speaker to accompany the rider.
