‘When the Riding’s Done’ JP Gorham You know I'll always ride here, even when my riding's done In the whisper of the pre-dawn, or the final burst of sun At the corners of transition, where the changes are obscured I will ride and if you see me, it's because our love has endured You know I'll never leave you, even when I'm far away In the moments when the words stop, and your breath gets in the way I will softly say I love you, barely louder than the breeze So, I hope you gently listen, to my voice between the trees You know I'll try to hold you, even when my arms can't grasp Just to try to bring you comfort, when your throat lets out a gasp The feelings that we share here, will transcend just what we see And my horse will still be waiting, right beneath our favourite tree You know you are forever, but it's easy when we're here Just a hand away from holding, and a hug away from fear So you have to make a promise, that your hope will never run And you know I'll always ride here, even when my riding's done.
