Lyrics Julia Stone

Julia Stone

Horse With The Wings

The horse with the wings never turned up for the party

And I wonder how long 'til he comes looking for me

So I wait in the room by the river and I watch the world go by

And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth

And I hear your words. "What have I done now?"

I look to the floor and you look to the hallway

And you say, "I'm sorry for whatever it is and I feel myself groan

'Cause I know I've lived a life with you here for years now

And the scratching of the metal as you're putting on the kettle

Makes my skin crawl and I feel small"

The birds slip through the cracks in the glass

And there's blood on the floor

When will this day break?

When will my heart ache?

When will this day break?

When will I find my place?

Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found

Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found

On the beach and you put to your ear to hear how

Clear I sound, you say, "Sing me a song"

Like I've nothing better to do than sing songs for you

You hang me on the wall so I'm taller than before

And I feel like I might fall but I don't

I hang there quietly watching the life we lead

Like it's a prize I could never win, a sea I could never swim

When will this day break?

When will my heart ache?

When will this day break?

When will I find my place?
