They're dancing on the rooftops in my hometown
The barmen are giving out drinks for free
My old flame is crying alone in her room
And the neighborhood kids are whispering tales of me
The trees are swaying and bending
Wind circles around
As the ground soaks up the morning dew
With the evening tears we shed
The groves are twisting, groaning, creeping
Ever near our doors
But will they swallow up the children
Nobody knows
The dark horse rides on
On and on
Yeah, the dark horse rides on
The dark horse rides on
On and on he goes
The dark horse rides into the wind
The sun sheds light on the sorrows
Moon light cast them away
I chase them down a rabbit hole
Guess I wanted them to stay
'Cause they nag at me and pull me
Into their desires
But could they just be leading me
Out of the fire
Towards the dark horse
The dark horse rides on
On and on and on
Yeah, the dark horse rides on
The dark horse rides on
On and on he goes
The dark horse rides into the wind
Into the wind
Into the wind
People talking on and on
Yet what little bit they do know
As the barmen pour their drinks
Until they over flow
It's more in pain than wrath I go
I never wanted it this way
But there's a storm that lives in me
That I can't hide away
And they're dancing on the rooftops in my hometown
