Lyrics
PALOMINO PONY
She gallops with such energy way out there all alone
It brought my heart tremendous joy when I corralled her for my own
First weeks then months I worked so hard to tame that splendid beast
But all the time I could sense she was really not at peace
Then one spring day came home to see that she had run away
That sudden rush of heartfelt pain stays with me to this day
CHORUS
She's a Palomino pony running wild in the wind
A precious gift from God that's bordering on sin
Her brilliant untamed spirit drives her to be free
Now I understand just why she left me
A Palomino Pony must always run free
I met a perfectly imperfect girl who meant the world to me
Her silken hair and bright blue eyes were all I cared to see
But all the time I could sense she was really not at peace
I would have spent my life with her or most of it at least
I woke one day at early dawn to find she was gone for good
Again that tragic crush of pain till then misunderstood
CHORUS
Bridge
I loved them both so very much
And wanted them with me
It took the strength of all my love
To watch them both run free
CHORUS
