The Horizon

The horizon is wider than it used to be

I ain’t the boy you knew

But on a clear day, I can see

All the way to you

All the way to you

When you’re running blind

From promises broken and re-made

Then broken again

You got no way home

Nothing but the smell of burning bridges in the rain

When I look back now

I see a young man riding on

A one way rail going down

Only holding on

Riding his addiction into

Each new lonely town

The horizon is wider than it used to be

I ain’t the boy you knew

But on a clear day, I can see

All the way to you

All the way to you

I hit the railhead

One night in hell

And even now I

I dunno why I

Looked across at the gaming room

In a cheap hotel

And somehow walked on by

Somehow walked on by

Have you ever seen the western sky

As the sun goes down

Turning indigo to grey

It’s enough to make a man believe

That maybe one more chance could come my way

Maybe one more chance could come my way

The horizon is wider than it used to be

I ain’t the boy you knew

But on a clear day, I can see

All the way to you

All the way to you.
