True, you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen
Standing sixteen, one or two
With eyes wide and green
And you ride the horse so well
Hands light to the touch
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night
Without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space
Where you used to lie
And look for a spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in my eye
Eleven years of my life spent in Ireland, this song will always remind me green fields and cliffs. Thanks to so many great Irish who made my time amazing in there.
im jamaican and going out with a jamaican girl, i love the irish culture, i love the music, i love st patricks day, i love ..........everything about the irish,,...........respect in every aspect,...p.s took my girlfriend to jamaica and she loved it,
Powerful in its simplicity. I take this as a song about self preservation; needing to leave someone and mourning their loss, but needing to move and ride on to live and stay alive.
Ride On . . . City Of Chicago. . . I remember these songs being played by my father early in my childhood. He comes from County Down. Good things! Tiocfaidh ár lá.
I'm English and I heard this song years ago and instantly fell in love with this most haunting track... This song is defo in my top 10 and it always will be and I'm only 38... This is absolute magic.... What a hauntingly beautiful song xx
Aww this has to be one of my favourite songs ever... Used to tell people i loved this song when i was in secondary school, and they made fun of the song... :(
True you ride the finest horse I've ever seen
Standing 16 1" or 2" with eyes wild and green
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut one last time
I turn to face an empty space where once you used to lie
And look for a smile to light the night through a teardrop in my eye
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
