horses and high heels
Singer:faithfull, marianne
when i lived in the city of dublin
it suited my face and my tears
the drink and the friends were good
and stood for my hopes and my fears
i lived in a flat in ballsbridge
and at two in the morning i'd hear
the sound as the horses came back from their work
and the horses clip-clop coming near
what every city knows and fears
in my apartment that 's up from the street
i hear a girl in high heels who must run in
to meet a lover extremely discreet
what every city knows and fears
in dublin and paris women are running
ghostly horses return from the park
have to meet a man of their dreams
and stables so warm and dark
what every city knows and fears
