Calexico - Wild Horses Lyrics






Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lights
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away.

I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I had my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

    They always strike the right chord -- classicly smooth ride, a Jagger antithesis right on track. Even Gram Parsons is beaming at this one. Thanks.

    D.... E....

    Beaming.

    No pun intended ❤️

  4. L.... B....

    Please don’t ever delete this

  5. s.... ....

    he can sing the phone book and it would song great. What a special voice! Brilliant cover.

  6. G.... L....

    not bad

  7. J.... G....

    Anyone else who can't listen to this without crying? Bonus points if you're thinking about your toxic ex at the same time! haha.

  8. f.... b....

    Iron AND wine makes me smoke weed

  9. M.... T....

    My heart melts and breaks for this version. Fuck, I love Iron & Wine

  10. G.... ....

  11. p.... ....

    Another song I can't turn up loud enough to make me forget you

  12. Y.... K....

    wow now this is the best cover ...

  13. R.... W....

    OMG!!! I LUV The Stones...but this version blows my mind...on Every level..I musta posted it on FB over a dozen times...and I concur with Every ones comments...AMAZING!!!

    R.... W....

    Rachelle Weisel I regularly come back to this... Awesome.

    R.... W....

    Rachelle Weisel and the stones are my favourite band... But this version takes me to a place that even the original doesn't...

  14. J.... P....

    I don't know why, but I was hoping for a Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses cover, from U2

    J.... P....

    Jordan Poslusny please go...

  15. T.... A....

    Wild horses couldnt drag me away

  16. Y.... K....

    sparklehorse...

  17. B.... C....

    Wow....how did I miss this amazing cover ???

  18. W.... t....

    of the 132,461,276,007 artists to cover this song, I would have to say this is my 2nd favorite. closely behind the version by The Sundays.

    W.... t....

    check out old and in the way's rendition. It's awesome too!

    W.... t....

    El Dudeo seriously? Mr "breathe in, breathe out, got a machine head" guy?

  19. S.... B....

    beautiful simply 💐💮

  20. G.... J....

    I really underestimated iron man's talent until I heard this! he out did old mcjaggar that shister

    G.... J....

    hahahaha!

  21. K.... T....

    I almost cried

    K.... T....

    Kathryn Cocker yeah...but he's a guy, so presumably, _he_ doesn't cry when he sees an oil puddle's colors or the sound of a blender on an average day. or a lonely yak-- and the face it makes when it's a lonely yak who's taking a shit.

  22. N.... S....

    what record is this from ("-" )

    N.... S....

    This is a song by the Rolling Stones from the album Sticky Fingers

    N.... S....

    I was wondering what I&W record this was from.
    Guess there isn't a studio version,

    N.... S....

    In The Reins by Calexico+I&W, but this song is a bonus track of the japanese edition

    N.... S....

    Navarre Saggu I was going to be a late night mare and foal

  23. V.... L....

    it is so peaceful :)

  24. S.... N....

    I could listen to this cover over and over. So peaceful. Love Iron and Wine.

  25. S.... ....

    Touched me beyond my recognition.

  26. L.... K....

    YES! such a great cover love it

  27. T.... C....

    Let's do some living after we die

    J.... P....

    +Dimitri Ls haha, back again... Damn awesome!!

    J.... P....

    The Rolling Stones are the original artists and of course are great at it. You should also the version by Alicia Keys and Adam Levine.... thinking that is my favorite version over all.

    J.... P....

    Jeffrey Plashka :)

    J.... P....

  30. C.... ....

    Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.(Franz Kafka)

    C.... ....

    +ClaudioDiGiampa You're a gentleman and a scholar. Keep on keeping on.

    C.... ....

    There's an irony to that quote...

  31. C.... H....

    Wild, wild horses...

  32. L.... L....

  33. S.... L....

    I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie

    shawnr127 I lost my brother in the same he was 33 and am so sad for you. It never goes but distraction and time will mask the desperation...give it time... he would want that for you and he would want you to be the uncle to his girls. My brothers name was Dale

  44. J.... J....

    Thanks.

  45. M.... U....

    I'm so sorry :( I hope you're doing okay, and whatever life throws at you, remember to keep smiling through the tears.

  46. M.... U....

    That really made my day. I've been so depressed lately, and to hear that from someone really makes me feel someone or something out there actually takes the time to wish me, and all of us, a good day, and a good life. Thank you. :')
    -Maddi

  47. J.... V....

    Iron & Wine helps me get through life :)

  48. W.... ....

  49. o.... ....

    I want to find a boy who will stay the same when he's with his friends. and with whom you can fall in love with for his personality and cute little quirks. I think blind love is what we need

    o.... ....

    o0oravenforevero0o I'm a boy looking for love. Hello

    s.... ....

    I agree totally

    s.... ....

  78. t.... ....

    Transmission: Bummer -got a car n my yard needs more repairs than it's worth,but I found a van 4 $800 & the engine likes 2 cut off sometimes 4 no reason,but it runs. Sibs n the hospital:At least they weren't DOA. Your fish died? Get a puppy/kitten/or a new fish. Your chick stepped out on you? She can do that. Show her true colors. This means nothing about you. Give yourself some time then get a new chick. My point: Look for the positive - easier if you break things up into 1-at-a-time pieces.

  79. D.... M....

    The transmission on my truck went out, 2 of my brothers and my sister got into a car accident and are in the hospital. My fish died, and the next day i found out that the girl i loved had cheated on me. She said she had new plans. And did it over a text, i found my sweatshirt on the side of the road in our small town. any prayers can change a life, i cant take anymore.
    17605675885
    if anyone has any advice, a text would change my day. thanks to all.

  82. s.... ....

    s.... ....
