This became a standard piece for us with Cate's excellent harmonies.

    Ride On

    by Christy Moore
    Its true you ride the finest horse I have ever seen,
    Standing sixteen, one or two. with eyes wild and green,
    You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,
    I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

    ( Chorus
    Ride on, see you
    I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
    Ride on, see you
    I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to. )

    When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,
    Run your claw along my gut one last time.
    I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie,
    And look for the spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye.

    Chorus

    No matter how I wanted to.
    No matter how I wanted to.
    I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
