Gabriel and Me Full Lyrics
[00:01.07] (Words and Music by Joan Baez)
[00:07.11] The grey quiet horse wears the reins of dawn,
[00:15.16] And nobody knows what mountain he's from.
[00:22.18] In his mouth he carries the golden key,
[00:29.19] And nobody sees him but Gabriel and me.
[00:37.27] Gabriel and me.
[00:43.20] His nose is silver and his mane is white,
[00:54.23] His eyes are black and starry like night.
[01:01.21] So softly he splashes his hoofs in the sea,
[01:09.31] That nobody hears him but Gabriel and me.
[01:16.38] Gabriel and me.
[01:25.30] He comes in the morning when the air is still,
[01:33.35] He races the sun and he always will.
[01:40.35] We raise up the window and call through the trees,
[01:47.35] Oh we'd love to fly with you, Gabriel and me.
[01:56.35] Gabriel and me.
[02:00.38] For your back is wingless and there's room for two,
[02:08.42] We'll mount from a tree and ride straight on through.
[02:16.42] But I guess you're wiser than I thought you'd be,
[02:23.44] For you never will listen to Gabriel and me.
[02:31.49] Gabriel and me.
[02:40.43] For you know that one day we'll forget to wake,
[02:48.50] Call it destiny, call it fate.
[02:55.52] You'll nuzzle us softly and so silently,
[03:02.53] We'll ride in the morning, Gabriel and me,
[03:10.58] With the golden key.
[03:14.57] Gabriel and me,
[03:17.55] Forever to the sea.
