I saddled up my pony right   And rode into the ghostly night   It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open      I left the only home I knew   I stayed alive and I found you   Now I take you where the water's deep   And make the air you breathe so sweet      But is it not enough to be complete? Please?   Let me give you everything you need, please?      We found a way, we found a street   Directions sweat under the sheets   And I let you have it, let you have it      But it can be a lonely place   Desire comes, desire fades   There's a bright one caught your fancy eye   It's okay so long as you stay mine      And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame   That you let other numbers in the game      Now I suffer for your hungry eye   Oh why must it see more than mine?   It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster      But when I ride again into the night   My torch will shoot flames strong and bright   And my absence will remind you of   How tough it is to be in love      And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey   And it works great for you to have your way, hey      But if the west can be a desperate place   You search all day for just a taste   Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water      And if you think i've gone too long   Listen the sky will sing this song   As it burns up all the memories   That flow like water out of me
