Joan Baez - Gabriel and Me lyrics

The grey quiet horse wears the reins of dawn
And nobody knows what mountain he's from
In his mouth he carries the golden key
And nobody sees him but Gabriel and me
Gabriel and me

His nose is silver and his mane is white
His eyes are black and starry like night
So softly he splashes his hoofs in the sea
That nobody hears him but Gabriel and me
Gabriel and me
He comes in the morning when the air is still
He races the sun and he always will
We raise up the window and
Call through the trees
Oh we'd love to fly with you, Gabriel and me
Gabriel and me

For your back is wingless and
There's room for two
We'll mount from a tree and
Ride straight on through
But I guess you're wiser than
I thought you'd be
For you never will listen to Gabriel and me
Gabriel and me

For you know that one day
We'll forget to wake
Call it destiny, call it fate
You'll nuzzle us softly and so silently
We'll ride in the morning, Gabriel and me
With the golden key gabriel and me
Forever to the sea
