Horse

about

This is empathy writing, I'm really not a horse person. I was inspired listening to someone describe what riding was to them, and it evoked for me similar feelings to riding a motorcycle, which is I placed it next to We'll Fly Tonight in this album.

lyrics

Without a word you know how I’m feeling
Under sun and sky we run as one
The freedom of the wind is ours to ride
You may carry me, but I’m running by your side, in my mind

Out of need I live and deal in chaos
But always in my heart I’m on the trail
I sense your hesitation when I’m angry, or I’m tense
And you take me to a place where living makes some sense
and I’m fine

How could I get through this life my feet locked to the earth?
Only on your back do I feel sure
Reason reins me in so I can breathe
Solace with a friend, strong enough to bear my pain
Ever running, ever willing, ever free
(Ever free) (Ever running) (Ever free) (Ever willing)

Dark obsessing, cold and deep
Wild thoughts pressing, swell and leap
Fast companion, stout and smooth
Cantered plea, wingless flew
Prance and poise
Scattered pressures
Sanguine noise
Together is a place I can be
Fear abandoned, musk and mane
Harbored longings, hooves of flame
Joy unshackled, sense and fret
Unencumbered, froth and sweat
Need and power
Swelling rhythm
Fleeting hour
Together… together

Clouded fears blown away, all but forgotten
If only for the moment that we run
A sharing of needs, a fellowship of two
And we flee together as if speed alone can outrun the world

How could I get through this life my feet locked to the earth?
Only on your back do I feel sure
Reason reins me in so I can breathe
Solace with a friend, strong enough to bear my pain
Ever running, ever willing, ever free
(Ever free) (Ever running) (Ever free) (Ever willing)

Without a word you know how I’m feeling
(Ever running) (Ever willing)
Under sun and sky we run as one
(Ever running) (Ever willing)
The freedom of the wind is ours to ride (Ever running)
Ever free

(Ever willing) (Ever running)
(Ever running) (Ever willing)
(Ever willing) (Ever running)
(Ever running) (Ever willing)
(Ever willing) Ever free

Schweitzer Los Angeles, California

My brother started writing songs and that was the spark that started me on my own songwriting course that would last the rest of my life. I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
