Home Is The Horizon

Everybody loves a sailor, no one wants to wave goodbye Everybody's making efforts, no one here really tries Travel safely now, horizons rise and fall For you, I'd madly risk it all Dizzy spells and washing dishes, no one here will crack a smile Running mouths a mile a minute No closer to their moving finish line Travel safely now, horizons rise and fall Blue eyes, a smile, and southern drawl Wooden clock on the mantle with a horse on each side He carved it once for Christmas but it never kept time It's the only remembrance of a sweeter life But children get older and your heart walks away from your side Someone out there needs to hear you, someone else needs to be heard Holding on to conversations, casting spells with simple words Travel safely now, horizons rise and fall I'll pace the floors until you call Golden shores and joyful echoes, laden down with lows and highs Peace exists when you begin it And vanishes like twilight clouds Travel safely now, horizons rise and fall Life's a slow and clumsy waltz Travel safely now, horizons rise and fall For you, I gladly risked it all
