{Verse 1]
         
I knew a horse
              
I watered him 


everyday
         
We got divorce

d
          
Then everythin

g changed
           
And then I lef

t
              
In pursuit of 


Scottish showe

rs
             
Hope the horse

              
s there know h

             
ow to sprout f

lowers

[Verse 2]
            
There was a bi

rd
           
Who showed me 

her ways
         
I did my best
              
And practiced 


everyday
            
But did not le

arn
            
How to make ho

rses grow
             
Now I’ve packe

              
d my bags and 

        
hit the road

[Chorus]
            
I still find t

        
he soil of our

 love
            
In my teeth an

        
d in my dreams
            
But I know it 

      
was a fruitles

s affair
             
And I’ll leave

             
 that to the b

            
ird and her be

es

[Verse 3]
        
You may hear t

his tale
              
And think I do

    
n’t know a thi

ng
      
But I swear
           
I’ve heard tha

t horse sing
      
And I know
          
What I am talk

ing about
             
He just kept s

              
pitting all my

       
 water out

[Chorus]
            
I still see hi

  
m tucking his 

tail
            
In my thoughts

           
 and in my dre

ams
            
When the snail

        
s are decompos

ing me
             
I hope he’s po

             
llinated by th

  
e bees

[Bridge]
             
I once knew ho

            
w to plant goo

  
d seeds
             
Somehow now th

            
e skill escape

  
s me
             
Shut myself in

        
 and I forgot
             
I’m grown now


          
But I’m only a

          
 moth

[Chorus]
            
I still see hi

  
m tucking his 

tail
            
When I’m falli

          
ng off to slee

p
            
When the snail

       
s are decompos

ing me
             
I hope he’s wi

       
th the bird
         
And her bees
