Holding Horses by The Green Rumours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow it down, baby it's movin' too fast
Hence what you told me the night before last
Now I'm hear wonderin' what I did wrong
Thinkin' that maybe you've been gone all along

[Chorus]
Holding horses, buyin' time
Hopin', prayin', you're still mine
Practicin' patience
Sayin' the chord and all I'm left holdin'
Is horses

[Verse 2]
Readin' the saddle a little unsure
Reckless abandonment, hardly wants more
Takin' a gamble it turns out like it should
Knowin' that maybe you might break me for good

[Chorus]
Holding horses, buyin' time
Hopin', prayin', you're still mine
Practicin' patience
Sayin' the chord and all I'm left holdin'
Is horses
[Bridge]
How do you hold back the ocean?
How do you dry up a flood?
How do you rein in the wild hair
When it gets the urge to run?

[Chorus]
Holding horses, buyin' time
Hopin', prayin', you're still mine
Practicin' patience
Sayin' the chord and all I'm left holdin'
Is horses
You left me holdin' nothin' but horses
