Lyrics
0:21Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
0:26When the distant sea blended with the sky
0:35Past Coliseum's filled with brass
0:38On pavements carved from toasted glass
0:42I carried in my heart a word or two
0:49Your dashing horseman all gone away
0:52Left you the stable bill to pay
0:55And now the golden calf has turned to clay
1:02All my feelings dressed in gloves
1:06Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love
1:09White and open-necked you would still play
1:16I'd resort to sleepwalking to caught the mood that fills the sails
1:23With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring
1:30But every night was Halloween and every friend fell in between
1:37And how capricious nature ruled my mind
1:44Your dashing horseman all gone away
1:47Left you the stable bill to pay
1:50And now the golden calf has turned to clay
1:57All my feelings dressed in gloves
2:00Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love
2:04White and open-necked you would still play
2:24Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
2:31When the distant sea blended with the sky
2:38My mouth was full of cigarettes my bed was full of [Incomprehensible]
2:45But you would always make me see today
2:52Your dashing horseman all gone away
2:55Left you the stable bill to pay
2:59And now the golden calf has turned to clay
3:05All my feelings dressed in gloves
3:09Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love
3:12White and open-necked you would still play
3:31I sound so different these days I barely can believe I'm me
3:41If I didn't know better I would swear I was someone else
3:49Lord I can't believe I don't believe I'm me
3:57But who on earth could I be
4:15Your dashing horseman all gone away
4:18Left you the stable bill to pay
4:21And now the golden calf has turned to clay
4:28All my feelings dressed in gloves
4:31Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love
4:35White and open-necked you would still play play play
4:42Your dashing horseman all gone away
4:45Left you the stable bill to pay
4:48And now the golden calf has turned to clay
4:54All my feelings dressed in gloves
Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings When the distant sea blended with the sky Past Coliseum's filled with brass On pavements carved from toasted glass I carried in my heart a word or two Your dashing horseman all gone away Left you the stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love White and open-necked you would still play I'd resort to sleepwalking to caught the mood that fills the sails With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring But every night was Halloween and every friend fell in between And how capricious nature ruled my mind Your dashing horseman all gone away Left you the stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love White and open-necked you would still play Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings When the distant sea blended with the sky My mouth was full of cigarettes my bed was full of [Incomprehensible] But you would always make me see today Your dashing horseman all gone away Left you the stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love White and open-necked you would still play I sound so different these days I barely can believe I'm me If I didn't know better I would swear I was someone else Lord I can't believe I don't believe I'm me But who on earth could I be Your dashing horseman all gone away Left you the stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbor love White and open-necked you would still play play play Your dashing horseman all gone away Left you the stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves
