Next Tuesday

All of the horses

are purple and white.

A thousand different horses some day
we'll wake up and hear them galloping outside
All of the horses
they are purple and white
Someday we're going to wake up
and see them galloping outside.

We've all worked long weeks
and we're so tired tonight,
your hands like gloves of thread
made from mistakes of your life,
but someday we're going to wake up
and watch them galloping outside

All of the horses

are purple and white

I know that you're tired, really tired tonight
and I know that your mama never taught you how to ride
but someday we're going to wake up
and see them galloping outside
and I promise that you'll sleep soundly
for the first time in your life
when you see all the horses
purple and white.
