When I Ride - Tania Kernaghan

When I Ride Lyrics

A black thoroughbred cross and a kid running wild
we were best friends and free as the wind
with the warm smell of leather and bridle of a jingle
we'd gallop down to the river to swimand the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart
I'd drop the reins and open my armsCHORUS
And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind
I can fly when I ride
and I feel my soul open wide as the sky
I can fly when I rideEmerald green river flats and the kiss of the sun
sandy tracks and the dogs'd come behind
and the willows'd whisper as we cantered along
'till the evening star came out to shinethen on our way home I'd lean over his neck
feel the sting of his mane and let him have his headCHORUS
And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind
I can fly when I ride
and I feel my soul open wide as the sky
I can fly when I rideOn the thunder of hooves was a song in my heart
I'd drop the reins and open my armsCHORUS

And I'd close my eyes and I'm on the wind
I can fly when I ride
and I feel my soul open wide as the sky
I can fly when I ride
