Red Horizon

red horizon

there's a back road leads by my old place ...
you know i never walk there no more ...
led to salvation like a familiar face at my door ...
thought i'd return there sooner or later ...
somehow i never got past the edge of town ...
like a path we all return to when there's no place to run ...

on that red horizon ... seven horses come my way ...
seven miles out and driving to the break of day ...
with that sun's arriving ... elements of my fate ...
some will bet that i'll stumble at the break of day ...
on that red horizon ...

spending all night on sand dunes under that ...
sailor's moon ... and now i ...
see the dawns painted light coming soon ...
i'm looking 'round for a sun sign ... it's like ...
all i've ever done here is wait ... and now i'm ...
staring past indecision at the open gate ...

on that red horizon ... seven horses come my way ...
seven miles out and driving to the break of day ...
with that solar lightning ... elements of my fate ...
give me back something ... pay me back for my wait ...

lady luck's no bettor ...
lady loves a winner ...
fade out fade away ...

on that red horizon ... seven horses come my way ...
heading for my armageddon at the break of day ...
with that sun's arriving ... there'll be elements of my fate ...
get me there somehow ... make me at the break of day ...
on that red horizon ...
