lyrics

My Pony’s Falling

Bright, my herd of buffalo.

Dark, my quarrelsome me.

Bright on an open field of starting over,

saved from extinction only in a dream.

I could build, but I’m not building.

I’m not finding open fields.

I should try, but I’m not trying.

I’m in a chasm, not open fields.

Bright, my dreams of mountain tops.

Dark, my quarrelsome me.

Bright at the top above the timberline,

where a harsh wind has swept it clean.

Clean into the gully,
where I live in the shrubs.

In the shrubs in the gully awaiting the chance

to be hit from above, by the avalanche.

Saved from extinction only in a dream.

Hey, watch my pony.

He’s falling down.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
