CREST OF THE HORIZON

I was sorta wonderin if you had any plans
I mean, what is to become of anything it's in your hands.
Sometimes what you seem to say rings a little false.
Maybe I don't understand what you're tryin' to say at all.
Still I'd like to stay with you and wait to see the sun.
So like a gambler for my guide
Will you sit here by my side tonight and ride
An arrow to the sun,
crest of the horizon.

It’s hard to know if what’s been goin’ on has any end.
Just like it’s hard to tell which way the leaves will blow before the wind.
But does any of this affect you,
Do you ever notice pain?
Do you blind yourself with pleasure?
Are you mercilessly sane?
An would it matter much to you if nothing’s ever done.
Except to get away and fly
Get off the ground, get untied and ride
An arrow to the sun
Crest of the horizon.

I don’t know a thing you’re thinkin’ and I’ve never heard your voice.
And I’m mad and kinda scared at being forced to make a choice.
I’m not lookin’ for an out just discovering what’s the catch.
But my time is burning swiftly like a quickly burning match.
And I’m not sure if you can help me but you may just be the one.
Though it’s got me mystified,
We can still outrun the tide outside and ride
An arrow to the sun
Crest of the horizon.
To the crest of the horizon.
