Margery Dreams Of Horses Lyrics - Counting Crows

In the still water she lies down 

Shaking through the press of sunlight 

We rolled into Lexington 

She shakes off the drop of daylight 

Water beading up her chest 

Bleeding down between her knees 

Rivers in Kentucky flow 

Between the bluegrass wavy seas 

But oh, Margery 

Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see 

Oh, breathless with anticipation 

Baited reelers set their hooks 

Tuck their heads beneath the high grass 

And lie and wait beside the brooks 

For instance pushing slowly through frustration 

Leading back along the alleys of a childhood 

That will not release us willingly 

But oh, Margery 

Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see 

Strait into me, baby 

Dust me off, shut me down 

Dream of where I haven't been 

Just close the door inside my heart 

It's tough in the South Atlantic wind 

'Coz I have hollow eyes 

Haunting only to myself 

But even so I, I, I can't stop 

These great big hollows in myself 

I took the train from California 

To the far side of the continent 

Woke up in Kentucky 

Where a wedding was about to end 

And I looked up at Anna 

She turned back to look at me 

Yeah, it's best to kill the ones that matter 

Render blind the ones who see 

But oh, Margery 

Takes the blade and walks away from me 

Oh, Margery 

Love like blood is pouring out of me 

Oh yeah, oh, Margery 

[Incomprehensible] my heart 

It won't stop bleeding all, all, all over me, baby 

Oh, I can't shut it in 

It's got far too many doors to block the wind 

Oh, I can't shut it in 

Yeah, it's got far too many doors to block the wind 

Oh, I can't shut it in 

It's got far too many doors to block the wind
