Wide Horizon, Quiet Blue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You take me where the blue begins Past the water tower and the pines A paper cup between your hands Your shoulder resting next to mine The morning train is far below A silver thread beneath the hill You point to where the swallows turn And suddenly the world is still [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a map tonight I know the way when you're in sight [Chorus] I love the sky because it opens Like your arms when I come home Every mile of blue above us Says I never have to roam If the daylight fades to amber If the first stars cross our view I will keep this endless ceiling Long as I can share it with you [Verse 2] We leave our jackets on the fence And let the evening find our skin You tell me stories from your childhood I tell you where my dreams have been A hawk circles over cedar roofs The last warm windows start to shine You laugh and lean against my chest And all that wide air feels like mine [Pre-Chorus] No grand promise, no parade Just this small world the two of us made [Chorus] I love the sky because it opens Like your arms when I come home Every mile of blue above us Says I never have to roam If the daylight fades to amber If the first stars cross our view I will keep this endless ceiling Long as I can share it with you [Bridge] When clouds gather over town And the weather presses down Find my hand, we'll wait it through There is always a break of blue [Final Chorus] I love the sky because it opens Like your arms when I come home Every mile of blue above us Says I never have to roam When the years turn soft and silver When the road is almost through I will bless this wide horizon For it led me back to you [Outro] Wide horizon, quiet blue All my favorite views are you
