Lyrics for Trick Rider

My wild child Your night light's on You're in your mild depths The moon is on the lawn Just make your friends While you're still young Before you can't see Through anyone And if you're trick riding in the rain Don't expect me to watch, don't ask me to explain I'll be your friend Your last refuge When things get weird And weird breaks you I'll stroke your hair I'll dry your cheeks When the failures come And no one speaks And if you're on a horse trick riding in the mud and rain Can't expect me to watch or ask me to explain And if you're on a horse trick riding in the mud and rain Don't make me watch, don't ask me to explain Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
