Seven Horses Lyrics
[00:03.21] Lo, the poor Indian
[00:27.36] Whose poor untutored mind
[00:31.46] Clothes him in front,
[00:34.65] But leaves him bare behind
[00:39.81] Maybe in another year
[00:43.17] The simple life we lead
[00:47.12] Could become more comfortable,
[00:50.49] Or even change completely
[00:54.33] Evangeline, your streets were washed away
[00:59.22] You'll never vent your anger,
[01:02.47] We'll await with baited breath
[01:05.99] For something better than we have
[01:10.60] Shallow dreams undone
[01:17.71] Fruitless and unsung
[01:25.02] No challenge towers so steep
[01:32.52] Seven horses deep
[01:40.80] A festival came to my town
[01:43.69] And quickly went away
[01:47.86] Faith contains the seed
[01:51.26] Of lowly tragedy they say.
[01:55.64] One step forward, two steps back
[01:59.11] The bango jangles in the subway
[02:03.17] Some await with bated breath
[02:06.51] For something better than they have
[02:10.72] Shallow dreams undone
[02:18.24] Fruitless and unsung
[02:25.64] No challenge towers so steep
[02:33.11] Seven horses deep
[03:02.85]
[00:27.36] Whose poor untutored mind
[00:31.46] Clothes him in front,
[00:34.65] But leaves him bare behind
[00:39.81] Maybe in another year
[00:43.17] The simple life we lead
[00:47.12] Could become more comfortable,
[00:50.49] Or even change completely
[00:54.33] Evangeline, your streets were washed away
[00:59.22] You'll never vent your anger,
[01:02.47] We'll await with baited breath
[01:05.99] For something better than we have
[01:10.60] Shallow dreams undone
[01:17.71] Fruitless and unsung
[01:25.02] No challenge towers so steep
[01:32.52] Seven horses deep
[01:40.80] A festival came to my town
[01:43.69] And quickly went away
[01:47.86] Faith contains the seed
[01:51.26] Of lowly tragedy they say.
[01:55.64] One step forward, two steps back
[01:59.11] The bango jangles in the subway
[02:03.17] Some await with bated breath
[02:06.51] For something better than they have
[02:10.72] Shallow dreams undone
[02:18.24] Fruitless and unsung
[02:25.64] No challenge towers so steep
[02:33.11] Seven horses deep
[03:02.85]
