White Horse
Transfer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to tell you something
Oh how I would feel so lost
You were so confused when I found you (Lift you off the ground)
Said, "Hunny would you please just take me home" (Because I'm bleeding baby)
The white horse has come to look you over

Your skin is leather
Your eyes are pale as stone
You survive the seething teeth of weather (Lift you off the ground)
Patiently you wait for me alone (Because I'm bleeding baby)

It was all part of everything
It was all part of everything
It was all part of everything
It was all part of everything
It was all part of everything
It was all part of everything





Well the white horse has come to look you over
Yeah the white horse has come to look you over
