Wild Horses


Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

"I'm up on a tightrope, one side's hate and one is hope"

Seems appropriate, huh?

Having lived in Tulsa I had the good fortune to meet him (briefly) a couple of times and the great fortune of once being in his house and hearing him play the piano solely for himself (classical, I don't know the composer).

Fun fact 1: Emily, of "Sweet Emily" fame, once drove my sister, me, and our cat to the vet in a limousine.

Fun fact 2: I went to my Jr. High school prom with his next door neighbor.

Rest in peace, Leon
