The light on the horizon

There is a wonder in waking

There is a glory in life

There is hope in my eyes

The light on the horizon

How my dreams live on in me

How time runs faster than me

How bright it shines for me

The light on the horizon

You are here in my thoughts

You are my reason for being

You are my happy ending

The light on the horizon

Our love was born of railroads

Our love was on the straight and narrow

Our love was as solid as the tracks

The light on the horizon

We played for hours here

We liked the danger and thrill

We didn't know this morbid irony

The light on the horizon

You aren't here with me though

You can't be, and no one else

You can't see this

The light on the horizon

My life is shortened now

My time is seconds from up

My eyes are taped open for

The light on the horizon

They gave me no reason

They game me no rhyme

They gave me no mercy

The light on the horizon

The ropes are tight

The tracks are hard

The light is bright

The light on the horizon

That sound gets closer

That rumbling nearer

That stairway to heaven

The light on the horizon

No price was paid for me

No lover has come

No comfort at all except

No time is left to think

Just me and my tears and the sight.

The light on the horizon
