Blurred Horizon

lyrics

We drove through the summer fields, country roads, gold light
Oh, my God, there was a strangeness to your whole life
That you retold to me there as the world passed
Far behind us like our better days
I’ve been sleepwalking through days since I saw you
All those years just disappeared, they never happened
And I feel like I’m cast adrift in the present
Oh, the past; that blurred horizon
As I move away from it close to death’s shore
Where you said it is just peace inside a white light
No, I never believed in that, but I still hope
There’s a truth in it for you, my friend


We moved east through England as evening light fell
To see an old friend, to learn of his life
A comfort, a fear, there’s really no change
The fields are still fields, his heart’s still his heart
River bright, summer night, the city alive
Life amidst life, dust amongst dust
On Sunday we parted in a downpour of rain
It wasn’t quite sad, profound or an end
More like the streams of our lives intertwined
As one for a while, to flow alone again


We’ll always have those days of youth and rain
Clean littoral light // The end of childhood
The start of this love // That I have for you

Drunk and high one warm spring night
The moon-rippled sea // We talked for hours
The distant lights shone // Our future dark, unknown

All those years away, my God, we’ve aged
But I feel the same // I will forever
Cos I can’t transcend // This numb, static state

Oh, my friends, my broken-hearted friends
You’ll be alright // Tonight, tomorrow
Wherever you are // But I’m lost, I’m lost

The lonely weight of life’s the same for you
As heavy as air // So full and empty
So, you’re not alone // A truth we all share
