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.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain,
Now you've decided to show me the same.
But no sweeping exits or offstage lines,
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.

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.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day.

Susan Boyle version

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 horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
      
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamt you a sin and a lie
And I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Fate has been soured, tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away..... away
