Only when you love the stone can you call the horse your own
Chorus: A horse of stone in a hill
horse of stone, stone in a hill
It’s hard to show someone to love or shove him there
scare him or let him try
it’s hard to show, it’s hard to know if you’re shy like me
On a hill I found a horse in stone caught in his ripest age
but I saw him stir and climb right out of his mountain cage
His eyes said to look to find our way home again
but when I rounded the rock I stopped and he was stone again
(Chorus)
Gone like a dream, many sleeps later I was there
I took him for granite but he was a jade, but he was a jade
he was alive too
I led him down with all of his brothers walking behind him
and the last one shed his coat because he was really a man
When I could love him he gave way to feeling and he could move
(Chorus)
