The grey quiet horse wears the reins of dawn
And nobody knows what mountain heŽs 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 weŽd love to fly with you, Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me.
For your back is wingless and thereŽs room for two
WeŽll mount from a tree and ride straight on through
But I guess youŽre wiser than I thought youŽd be
For you never will listen to Gabriel and Me, Gabriel and Me.
For you know that one day weŽll forget to wake
Call it destiny or call it fate
YouŽll nuzzle us softly and so silently
WeŽll ride in the morning, Gabriel and Me.
With the golden key Gabriel and Me
Forever to the sea.
