Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back She held around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she bled With every bubble she slinked with her dreams And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dark days are over, the dark days are done The horses are coming, so you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and your brothers Leave all your love and longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dark days are over, the dark days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come And I never wanted anything from you Exhale and leave everything you have And work this day after day too Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back Stuck from a great height By someone who should know better than that The dark days are over, the dark days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and your brothers Leave all your love and longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dark days are over, the dark days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come The dark days are over, the dark days are done The horses are coming, so you better run
