lyrics

Don't get off your horse my dear
you're only gonna get back on
and while we're on this course my dear
I may as well let you know

that you were all that I wanted
before I grew up in time
I'd have eaten my hat before I
thought you'd leave my mind,
but you left my mind

and all this
time I've
had no
I've had no head
If I have no head then how can I have a mind
If I have no mind then how can I move around
and if I can't move then I will just sit on down
and that's what I've done
and that's why I didn't let you know

I'm up on my horse my dear
and I'm not coming down
'cos while I'm on this horse up here
I can run around

You know that all that I want is to ride
throughout my own life
my own white horse kicking up
my own trail of dust
my own trail of dust

and all this
time I
had no
I had no head
If I have no head then how can I have a tongue
If I have no tongue then how can I sing a song
and if I can't sing then what am I doing now?
I'm singing strong
so maybe I have a head after all
