Miami Is On the Horizon, Shimmering

Late night, next flight, something calls me to the light
If I don't return, know that I am finally home

I am finding all the landmarks, I'm mapping out the territory
Soaking up the culture, learning all her history
Certain parts are dangerous, but I wanna know those too
It's easier for a man who's paid his dues
Deadlines, responsibilities, I intend to tend to all of these

But Miami is on the horizon, shimmering
And I know I'll get there if I take my time
And that modest, decent life, that should have been hers the whole time
Well I think it's time she tried

Midnight, next life, things we couldn't quite get right
Pull the next book, won't regret the chance we took

Well I intend to take my time, but I won't let the time take me
I'm getting old and I need something to believe
Could be my city or your mountains, could be my leather or your lace
It could be north or south or anywhere between
Hang-ups, insecurities, I intend to put an end to all of these

Because Miami is on the horizon, shimmering
And I know I'm getting closer all the time

And that modest, decent life, it should be hers and could be mine
Maybe it's time we tried
Maybe it's time we tried
Maybe it's time we tried
Maybe it's time we tried
Maybe it's time we tried
