<b>Horse Without A Rider</b> by <i>The 1861 Project</i><br />The 1861 Project - Horse Without A Rider

Hungry and half dead, hurting with each steplike a vision rising from the Morning mist

They never would have thought he’d be coming home – like this

It’s a horse without a rider

It’s a solemn silhouette

They all know what it means

It’s the moment they did dread

They watch him walking wounded

So weary and so brave

It’s a horse without a rider

And a soldier in a grave

They never got a letter to tell them of the news

So with each passing day, they’d hope and they would pray

But in a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight

They finally got an answer in the painful morning light

It’s a horse without a rider

It’s a solemn silhouette

They all know what it means

it’s the moment they did dread

they watch him walking wounded

so weary and so brave

it’s a horse without a rider

and a soldier in a grave
