I don't wanna hold you hostage
I wanna set you free
If I could I'd pay your ransom
And give your eyes to see
You know my love, it will follow
If you only follow me
Your eyes will open up so easily

I don't wanna make you suffer
Or fill you up with shame
What I want is to protect you
Give you shelter from the rain
If you take my hand and maybe
Even take my name
We won't have anyone else left to blame

See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run

I guess I was only dreaming
I'm here all on my own
I remember how you left me
Homeless in my home
But you said I had it coming
'Cause I've always done you wrong
But I was finding out where I belong

See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run

See how the horses run
Round the track
Until the winner come
Wait for the sound of his gun
And then the horses run
