Blue Horizon

from Into the Mystery
 ...
 Her car is how she left it. No dust has gotten in
 The key turns on the dash lights, and the CD player spins
 You hear her favorite music, the words she used to sing
 The last song she was playing, now comes to life again
 Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
 The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
 As far as I can see
 Well, so much for forever, and the promise of a song
 Why save her list of errands after she is gone
 Her bracelet? s on the gear shift, and her sweater smells like her
 And still her music? s playing, as if she might return
 Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
 The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
 As far as I can see
 You race away with wheel spin, and you? re slamming through the gears
 And the headlights blur and sparkle to see them through your tears
 And someone will find the wreckage, with the wheels turned to the sky
 Led there by the music, singing through the night
 Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
 The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
 As far as I can see, as far as I can see
 Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
 The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
 As far as I can see, as far as I can see
 As far as I can see
 As far as I can see
