(clarke / hicks / nash)
Follow me, follow, see what you see.
I’ll take somewhere where you’ve never been.
High on a mountain, deep down in the sea,
To faraway lands, you can travel with me.
I’m pegasus, the flying horse.
I’m pegasus, the flying horse.
Ride on my back and hold onto my wings
I’ll take you by night to a time-leaping dream.
Time has no value where we’re going to
People are happy; there, they’re never blue.
Chorus
This can only happen to you
If you keep our secret.
Don’t tell anyone about our magic horse.
You can go where you want, i can take you anywhere.
Because i’m pegasus, the flying horse.
I’m pegasus, the flying horse.
Chorus
Verse 1
Chorus
I’m pegasus, the flying horse.
(olivia newton-john)
There you were in my dream
Flying high just for me
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
White and strong soft and warm
You’ve been in my mind so long
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
Where do you come from?
Where have you been?
Where will you go oh?
I’ll call for you whenever i need you
Will you take me on your back and fly away?
Will you teach me why i’m here and lead the way?
Oh pegasus
Spread your wings i’ll climb on
We’ll explore the stars you’re from
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
You’re a myth born of light
Sent to heal my world tonight
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
There you were in my dream
Flying high just for me
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
White and strong soft and warm
You’ve been in my mind so long
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
Through all time you’ll live on
A gift to earth from dark till dawn
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
Creation of magic you live in my heart
Your spirit will guide me though we’re dimensions apart
There you were in my dream
Flying high just for me
Oh pegasus oh pegasus
Through all time you’ll live on
A gift to earth from dark till dawn
Oh pegasus

This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin
A kid knows what he wants to be before he’s nine or ten
Cowboys, clowns, and men of war and someone else’s friend
But nine grows into big boys’ pants and then to scars and pain
Twenty’s fast and hard as nails but doesn’t come again
There’s days to fall and days to rise and days for making haste
Days for seeking out yourself but no days you can waste
Nighttimes filled with love so good it aches to rest it down
Endless hallways dark with sleep and rivers dark with sound
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin
Children climbing on my arms and pigeons on my head
Get thee up my little man and dream a dream instead
Dream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the night
Dream until the morning’s gone and turned the dark to light
Then come and get your daddy if he hasn’t blown away
Rock him in your children’s hands and help him find his way
Take him to your hiding place and let him come inside
He’ll never tell your secret, cross my heart and hope to die
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin
