Nina Gordon: Horses in the City

they walk the horses home at night right by my window
they pull their carriages along busy city streets
it's from another time it's like a lullaby but i don't think that i can sleep tonight

so i count the streetlights i count the stars
i make a wish and wonder where you are
i wonder if i'll live long enough to feel again

help me cause i'm falling out of grace
i hang my head and hide my face
i don't know what it is i just feel out of place
like horses in the city

i played the game i dropped the ball i lost another friend
i gained a future but i can't see where the future ends
i'd write a letter or write a song but once again my voice just comes out wrong
i wonder if i'll live long enough to sing again

but they don't seem frightened as the cars go speeding by
so why am i so terrified to close my eyes tonight
i'm just afraid there’s no time no time this time

they walk the horses home at night right by my window
they pull their carriages along busy city streets
i wonder if they'll live to run without the reins again

I've never heard that song before, but I really like the lyrics.

She's one of the chicks from Veruca Salt. Her solo album was very different, and I liked a lot of what she has on there. The first track is especially good--full of irony.
