The Girl in the Swing Lyrics

Do you see them coming through fields of snow ?
Do you see them riding through fields of snow ?
One rides for a woman who has no name
One rides for a king
And one just rides and rides and rides and rides
For the Girl in the Swing

They race like phantoms in the Belmont light
Can you see them follow the Belmont light ?
They ride through places where the walls are white
And the noble voices of women sing
They raise up their throats and they sanctify the night
With a song
For the Girl in the Swing

You just asked me, do I know what love is ?
Well, sure I know. Sure I know what love is
It's the thief of my sleep,
A boy and his dog,
A red rubber ball,
These old foolish things,
A rain that falls a long long way from home
It lives
In the Girl in the Swing
