I rode Charlie’s Horse last night
I told a lie
And danced around it for a while
And then the door opened
I thought I was invisible
Charlie didn’t tell me it was like this
I kissed the pain and cried
Some pity for me
Please?
Oh but oh
I would suffer alone
But the love was still there
Everywhere
I rode Charlie’s Horse last night
This morning, the ache in my muscles felt good
Yes, I was still alive
