Lyrics
I am lying in a pasture looking up at you
Faceless silhouette that's blocking out the sun
You rode your only pony to the ground today Marrianne, you're gonna hove to get the gun Marrianne, you're gonna have to get the gun.
White cumulus is racing 'cross a prairie sky
My broken leg is throbbing with your fear
Don't walk away and leave me in this agony Marrianne, you've got to pull the trigger here Marrianne, you've got to pull the trigger here.
I was doing real well and you loved me a lot
Then after I fell it seems you forgot
To come by to the house you filled with your
paintings and macrame
Your pony was winning, you showed him around
But now that he's calling your name from the ground You're nowhere to be found,
Marrianne, you're the one that's bleeding.
Through the sage I feel the thunder from a distant herd Stampeding towards a reservoir of freedom
If only I could stand again I'd run away
But Marrianne, with you here I can't see them Marrianne, with you here I can't see.
You hate to see me suffering on the darkening plain But you turn as cold anything can seem
Killing all the feeling that could lead you down Marrianne, why can't you set this lover free
Marrianne, why can't you set this lover free?
I was up on the stage with lights everywhere
And when I come down you always were there Keeping me close whenever those lights shown their brightest
Your pony was winning, you showed him around
But now that he's calling your name from the ground You're nowhere to be found,
Marrianne, you're the one that's bleeding.
Someday you're going to learn to give
When giving hurts as much as dying
And fallen ponies always live again.
