"Stolen Horses" lyrics

"Stolen Horses"

I'll be riding stolen horses when you don't see me no more
I'll be riding stolen horses on some distant shore

Now reincarnation as I understand it is birth, death and rebirth
Unless we get enlightment, full tilt enlightment
We come back down here on earth
And I suppose when we leave here, that we go to some celestial realm
And in one of these Heaven's there might be horses
And if there is I'm gonna steal me a few of them

I'll be riding stolen horses when you don't see me no more
I'll be riding stolen horses on some distant shore

Now there's little demons on Hindu temples
Above the door and all around
What that says is we get past what scares us
And we can stand on sacred ground
So don't be cryin' when I'm done breathing
The way I'm living, I'll be back again
So close your eyes and see me riding
Some stolen horses in the wind

I'll be riding stolen horses when you don't see me no more
I'll be riding stolen horses on some distant shore
