“Horse Tears” is a somber, depressing ballad about crying for a man and being damned by love. It’s defined by its minimalist piano, cheap monster-movie organ and filtered vocals.
On the official lyrics for Felt Mountain, only the first verse is written out, and it’s not even properly on the booklet...
[Verse 1]
Night has fallen
Mute and cold
My horse is crying
[Pre-Chorus]
But you know there's time
But you know there's time
And you're never mine
Tears too cold
[Chorus]
Dare to come
But you love me so
But you love me
Tears too cold
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
You have damned me
And you're the one
That you're forever
In this time
[Pre-Chorus]
But you know
That there's strength
And you love a man
Who stewed out these tears
[Chorus]
Dare to come
That you love the tears
And you love the tears
Too deeply
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la la, la la
