childhood living is easy to do
the things you wanted i bought them for you
graceless lady you know who i am,
you know i can't let you slide through my hands
wild horses couldn't drag me away,
wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
i watched you suffer a dull aching pain,
now you've decided to show me the same
no sweeping exits or offstage lines
can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
wild horses couldn't drag me away,
wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
i know i dreamed you a sin and a lie,
i have my freedom but i don't have much time
faith has been broken, tears must be cried,
let's do some living after we die
wild horses couldn't drag me away,
wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
wild horses couldn't drag me away,
wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
ilk mısraları hariç, şarkı Mick Jagger ve Marianne Faithfull arasında olan aşkın çöküşünü ve sonlanmasını anlatıyormuş. ilk mısralar ise Keith Richards'ın tura çıkacakları sırada uzun bir süre göremeyeceği oğlu için döktüğü gözyaşlarıymış. *
