She Rides
All through
her days
She bides her time dreaming nights of passion
Somewhere out there
Out beyond these castle walls he waits
“Soon, lover soon
my husband and his men will travel again.”
She counts the days
Hours, minutes, seconds of time
When she rides.
Into the night she’ll hide
When she rides. Away for the very last time
She wed a
man
With a heart of stone and hands of marble
Long lonely nights
Like a captive up in her room
No more, no more
Will she abide by vows that keep her longing
Then comes the night
And there upon her stallion she climbs
And she rides.
Into the night she hides
She rides. Away for the very last time
He waits outside her lover’s gate
Won’t take lightly this disgrace
For a fool she’s taken him
But tonight it all will end
She finds
her love
Dead upon the floor his blood still running
Out in the yard
Her husband ties her stallion to his own mare
And he rides.
Into the night he hides
He rides. Away for the very last time
