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
