How Does the Horse Go Home?

How does the horse go home?

I saw your letter on the porch

How does the horse row along?

I heard our record in the park

Half-sentimental decade of longing

Singing each person we thought we could be

Tippy-toeing past all our wrongings

In some plight of a harmony

When will the wind be worn?

I heard your echo in the park

Now that my horse got home

Forgot we'd written in the bark

Separation slips like a sundial

Meanwhile the shadow of past is a plain

I remember writing songs across you watching

The horses all ride away

Now that my horse got home

I read your letter on the porch

Now that the crow don't craw

I held that letter to my heart

I held your letter to my heart
