“Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…”
Mick Jagger (1943) British rock musician, member of The Rolling Stones
"Wild Horses" (co-written with Keith Richards), on Sticky Fingers (1971).
Lyrics
Context: 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
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…
Jaime Jackson (1947) Horse hoof care professional

“Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away.”
Mick Jagger (1943) British rock musician, member of The Rolling Stones

Lyrics
Context: Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away.

“Now the wild white horses play,
Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”

St. 1
The Forsaken Merman (1849)
Context: Come, dear children, let us away;
Down and away below.
Now my brothers call from the bay;
Now the great winds shoreward blow;
Now the salt tides seaward flow;
Now the wild white horses play,
Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.
Children dear, let us away.
This way, this way!
Madonna (1958) American singer, songwriter, and actress
