Pale Rider

Scraped her off the floor, not wanted anymore
Nothing’s gone to plan, we’re all forgetful
She’s lazy with her look, half-forgotten books
She’s riddled with mistakes, she can’t forget
I’m hiding, not fighting

Pale rider, no chasing, racing, facing
I’m hiding, not fighting
Pale rider, no chasing, no embracing
Disappearing girl, interfering world

The demons have gone home, they won’t remember
A sun that doesn’t shine, cheap cigarettes and wine
Her paint is all but gone, who’s standing there?

I’m hiding, not fighting
Pale rider, no chasing, racing, facing
I’m hiding, not fighting
Pale rider, no chasing, no embracing
Never again, nothing remains

No turning back, no time to explain, that’s why I say no never again
That’s why I say no never again, that’s why I say, why I say, why I say, why I say no never again
I’m hiding, not fighting
Pale rider, no chasing, racing, facing
I’m hiding, not fighting

Pale rider, no chasing, no embracing
There’s no embracing no, she can’t forget, she can’t forget, no
They won’t remember her no, who’s standing there, who’s standing there
Scraped her off the floor, not wanted anymore
