2. Coal Black Pony

Coal Black Pony
Sometimes you’ll drift off somewhere i can’t follow
Tell me anything, you know I’ll fall for it
It’s a long way down that dark hollow
Searching for a sign of you
Tell the truth, okay, you tell the truth
Just never all of it
You always leave room for doubt, cracks to slip through
But there’s a train through the mountains
A plane through the air
There’s a coal black pony that would take me anywhere
I wanted to know you like you know yourself
Show you that I was unshakable
The girls on your screen were nineteen and double jointed
But when the screen went dark there was just me
Forthright and breakable
And you, so disappointed
But there’s a train through the mountains
A plane through the air
There’s a coal black pony that would take me anywhere
I dreamed that I loved you with all of my heart
Seemed so real I tried to believe it
But then I woke in the dark alone
Too much time to think
At the end of the day I’m still looking for signs
For a clue if you’ll leave it
All I find is a half dozen coffee cups
Left in the sink
But there’s a train through the mountains
A plane through the air
There’s a coal black pony that would take me anywhere
