From the recording Horse to Water
Words and Music / Andy Robinson
You can tell he wants you to so ask him how he’s doing, pay attention what he has to say
It’s in his eyes he’s seen the truth through accident or ruin, had enough reflection for today
Find a tear you can shed for the thoughts in his head
Words can only point the way like a horse to water
You have to listen to what they say, they’ll only lead you on
Love is cruel but a heart can be kind and the truth isn’t hard to find
On a quiet hillside where they watch the sun go down, then in time across the lake they row
She said narrow hearts they are the loneliest of all, he said solitude is what we’re owed
Find a tear you can shed for the thoughts in their heads
Words can only point the way...
Sitting on his parents bed, a thousand voices in his head
He’s thinking of what Sarah said and he knows she loves him
Over in the bar she sits and wonders, there’s a list she’s starting to prepare
In a world of emptiness and blunders is there any reason for despair
Not a thought in her head for the tears that you shed
Words can only point the way...
