A Girl And Her Horse
Carbon Leaf
Love Loss Hope Repeat (2006)

You lean forward to go
You pull back to go slow
These are the horse basics
You should know
There's no use to wait
A girl and her horse will never separate
You were done before the gun
At the starting gate

And away she rides
To the great unknown
You can wave goodbye
And spend some time on your own
And wonder why

Sometimes you find you're
Far, far behind on the course
Some things are best left
Between and girl and her horse

With no words to say
A girl and her horse can communicate
'Cause motion is motion
And nothing's up for debate

And away she rides
To the great beyond
You can wave goodbye
To a girl and her horse with a bond
You can't deny

Sometimes you find you're
Far, far behind on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse
Sometimes you find you
Can't cross the line on the course
Some things are best left
Between a girl and her horse

You lean forward to go
You pull back to go slow
The rest is anyone's guess
Don't you know?

And away she rides
With the best in show
You can wave goodbye
To the girl and her horse and the bond
You'll never know

And away she rides
With the best in show
You know unicorns don't exist, of course
But every girl in this world has a horse

Sometimes you find you're
Far, far behind on the course
Some things are best left
Between and girl and her horse
Sometimes you find you
Can't cross the line on the course
Some things are best left
Between and girl and her horse
