Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I was a petty thief in the dirt
I took my dog back from you, made you hurt
You were a dove of simple beauty and call
I stood you up just to watch you fall

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I saw you sleeping on the bus last night
I saw your arm around another in the bus light
I kept on driving by the river and fields
Out to the harbor where the cold could help me heal

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay

I know he's out there in the desert by the sea
With golden feathers he'll come flying back to me
I'll know him by the lighting around his eyes
He's my protector and he'll keep me alive

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body 'fore I throw it in the bay
