on horseback

oldfield, mike

i like beer

and i like cheese

i like the smell of a westerly breeze

but what i like more than all of these

is to be on horseback. hey and away we go

through the grass

across the snow

big brown beastie

big brown face

i'd rather be with you than flying through space. i like thunder

and i like rain

and open fires

and roaring flames. but if the thunder's in my brain

i'd like to be on horseback. some like the city

some the noise

some make chaos

and others

toys. but if i was to have the choice

i'd rather be on horseback. hey and away we go

through the grass

across the snow

big brown beastie

big brown face

i'd rather be with you than flying through space. some find it strange to be here

on this small planet

and who knows where. but when it's strange and full of fear

it's nice to be on horseback. some are short

and others tall

some hit their heads against the wall. but it doesn't really matter at all

when you happen to be on horseback. hey and away we go

through the grass

across the snow

big brown beastie

big brown face

i'd rather be with you than flying through space. so if you you feel a little glum

to hergest ridge you should come. in summer

winter

rain or sun

it's good to be on horseback. hm!
