Zwan - Pony Express lyrics

The pony express flew through Inverness Silent through the dark they ride A message sent to you whereever you might lie To draw the straightest line from here Sure, they lie I'm sure they try I'm sure they wrote to someone too I can taste the salt in the sweet blood of earth In the creases of your skirt I can feel your hand upon my brow, holding off the chills In the silver churchill cross The pony express shuddered to a halt In the high desert plains of omaha I tried to get through your wire and metal drum From cold city west to santa fe I'm sure they cried Every single night A message without question or fail I can taste the salt in the sweet blood of earth In the creases of your skirt I can feel your hand upon my brow, holding off the chills In the churchill silver cross Tell me did you see her Did she cry Did she even notice If she seemed tired And the message, did it get thru And my message, did you forget How could you forget The pony express is coming in The pony express is coming in I can taste the salt in the sweet blood of earth I can taste the salt in the sweet blood of earth I can taste the salt The pony express, never second best Always coming in, rain or shine
