Where are you my teenage love? This desire hath blinded me and the horses are going absolutely nuts.
lyrics
Rope Ladder
It’s late in the day
The bugs are lifting away from the drowsy river
Into the darkening blue
I’m wondering why
The moon is winking a thin little golden sliver
And I’m down here looking for you
Unroll the rope ladder
I want to sit next to you
Let’s watch the stars scatter
Like we used to
The horses got out again
And they’re two streets over
Grazing in the garden of Gordon Hughes
I wonder why we even try to keep those crazy horses
In the suburbs
The sun’s going down
And all around town the sprinklers are hissing and clicking
And folks are all out on the porch
I’m wondering why
I don’t see a single star in the cloudless sky
I’m trying to look past my torch
Unroll the rope ladder
I want to sit next to you
Let’s watch the stars scatter
Like we used to
