lyrics

Lady Godiva, your horses are hungry
I will be there in the mornin’, those hills are sweet as honey
Flowers are fallin’, my faith’s in a tangle
our horses call to one another & they get a little harder to handle

Lady Godiva, ride me higher, I’m as steady as steady can be
slick in the hide I spent my whole life free
the past comes creepin’ in - was I born just to be born again
when will I cease repeating this cycle I was a wheel within a wheel on fire

Lady Godiva, your head’s on fire
I will meet you at the river I will be there for your baptizin’
I promised a plain song, I sang you a river
I won’t be wearin’ this fear for too long I stand at the bank ‘neath the moon & I shiver & I

Holler Hallelujah - Whisper my amen
claim I never knew ya
& only raise my voice to scream Goddamn. Well, Good goddamn.

Lady Godiva, this ain’t where I come from
but I been here for a while, I could turn my dust to your dust
Ponderosas & Hemlocks, Wildflowers and fetlocks
the trail twists like a sheep’s guts
I lose your sign in the rimrock

I holler Hallelujah, whisper my amen
claim I never knew ya & only raise my voice to scream goddamn
well Good God Damn
