On and on forever
first and last thought of the day
a good day's one without you
on my mind
water drawn up slowly
from the bottom of the well
each sip one step closer to
another ride on
memory's carousel
Here it comes; there it goes
everything you thought or felt
the endless talk about yourself
the lonely hours of emptiness
chewed coffee ground like bitterness
three hands worth of trouble
only two hands spare
and baggage
in the hall
Lost in the horizon
one in a million
Rudderless
on unseen tides
we're adrift
in our own minds.
Consequences of survival
to walk as if by lightning touched,
bravely back towards the fire
in that moment, who you really are
Lost in the horizon
one in a million
On and on forever like
the endless trips to liverpool
cigarettes and liniment
glassy eyes of wonderment
within you
still
witness eternal
hope beneath the bushel urging
one more step take one more step
beyond sky and horizon merging
until you're
lost in the horizon
one in a million
