The grey quiet horse wears the reins of dawn

And nobody knows what mountain hes from

In his mouth he carries the golden key

And nobody ses him but Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me



His nose is silver and his mane is white

His eyes are black and starry like night

So softly he splashes his hooves in the sea

That nobody sees him but Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me.



He comes in the morning when the air is still

He races the sun and he always will

We raise up the windows and call through the trees

Oh wed love to fly with you, Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me.



For your back is wingless and theres room for two

Well mount from a tree and ride straight on through

But I guess youre wiser than I thought youd be

For you never will listen to Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me.



For you know that one day well forget to wake

Call it destiny or call it fate

Youll nuzzle us softly and so silently

Well ride in the morning, Gabriel and Me.

With the golden key Gabriel and Me

Forever to the sea.



Joan Baez
