From the recording Web In The Corner
This is an upbeat ballad of a girl and her horse growing up together. I hope the guitar helps you feel the horse galloping. The lyrics focus on the mother's point of view as she watches them ride together. If I've done my singer-songwriter job correctly, the music will take you along too!
Lyrics
A filly was foaled at dawn
My daughter had seen the wonder
and instantly made the bond
They would ride- into the wind.
This is a tale
Combed and braided
A filly and girl who share a spirit.
Growing up, sure enough
The year they played was plenty
To teach the trust and love
They would ride,
Into the Wind.
Working on the farm,
After the chores comes freedom
in pastures from the barn
They would ride- into the wind.
This is a tale
Combed and braided
A filly and girl who share a spirit.
There’s only one stretch of time
Youth is alive with passion
I feel it racing by
As they ride- into the wind.
Warm night
Porch light,
Dinner’s waiting
But I smile, with pride
Watching them ride
Thunder of hooves at night
The crest of the moon to light them
Capturing souls in flight
As they ride- into the wind.
This is a tale, combed and braided
A filly and girl share a spirit.
