wooden horse caspar hauser s song

Suzanne Vega

I came out of the darkness
Holding one thing
A small white wooden horse
I d been holding inside

And when I m dead
If you could tell them this
That what was wood became alive
What was wood became alive

In the night the walls disappeared
In the day they returned
I want to be a rider like my father
Were the only words I could say

And when I m dead
If you could tell them this
That what was wood became alive
What was wood became alive

Alive
And I fell under
A moving piece of sun
Freedom

I came out of the darkness
Holding one thing
I know I have a power
I am afraid I may be killed

But when I m dead
If you could tell them this
That what was wood became alive
What was wood became alive
Alive
