Darkhorse - Emma Ruth Rundle

Run little sister, run so fast, I see he’s gaining on you

Take a breath and make it last, the darkwater horizon

Smile like you mean it and just cast the light of hell right out of here

No one else can see it’s the shape that makes you fall on fallow ground

So no more laying down, and no more dragging out

It’s the darkhorse you give legs to, no one else can ride

In the wake of strange beginnings, we can still stand high

Sing a song, a verse unhinged, passed down from our mother

Take breath and make it count and learn to sing another

Try ‘cause we need to and laugh the life of hell right out of here

No one else can see him, the shape that makes you fall on fallow ground

So lay your burden down in the springtime that surrounds you

It’s the darkhorse we give legs to, no one else can ride

In the wake of strange beginnings, we can still stand high

It’s you and I, you and I lie

You and I, you and I lie

It’s the darkhorse we give legs to, that I am proud to ride

In the wake of weak beginnings, we can still stand high

It’s you and I, you and I lie

You and I, you and I lie

You and I still try
