Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
He told me, "I've seen it rise
But it always falls
I've seen them come, I seen 'em go"
He said: "All things pass into the night"
And I said: "Oh, no, sir, I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh, no, sir, I must say you're wrong
Won't you listen to me?"
[Verse 2]
He told me, "I've seen it all before, I've been there
I've seen my hopes and dreams lying on the ground
I've seen the sky just begin to fall"
He said: "All things pass into the night"
And I said: "Oh, no, sir, I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh, no, sir, I must say you're wrong
Won't you listen to me?"
[Chorus]
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you
You-ou
You-ou
You-ou-ou-ou
You-ou
You-ou
You-ou-ou-ou
