Appaloosa from American Mythology by Haunted Like Human

Yeah she rises like a sunflower tall and proud against the sky
Turns to face the dawn each morning in defiance of the night
She is messy in her musings, but all she touches turns to gold
And I’m a light-hearted lover but a heavy thing to hold

She is dappled Appaloosa in the sunrise
Watch the shadows cradling her fade away
She is everything that I could never be
And I need her like the prairie needs the rain
Yeah I need her like the prairie needs the rain

Like a river through a canyon, all my changes come on slow
Try as I might, I’m always crawling back to devils that I know
I’m a heavy-handed sculptor, my efforts crumble to the ground
But you know she still forgives me when the morning comes around

She is dappled Appaloosa in the sunrise
Watch the shadows cradling her fade away
She is everything that I could never be
And I need her like the prairie needs the rain
Yeah I need her like the prairie needs the rain

All I’ve seen there in the mirror is a creature of the night
But I’m finding strength and solace when I’m bathed in all her light

She is dappled Appaloosa in the sunrise
Watch the shadows cradling her fade away
She is everything that I could never be
And I need her like the prairie needs the rain
Yeah I need her like the prairie needs the rain
Yeah I need her like the prairie needs the rain
