Carrie Newcomer - Toward the Horizon lyrics

Stretched as thin as paper, hollow as the sky Empty as my pockets, hungry as my eyes Wells fill from the bottom, and it's gonna take some time It's gonna take a little doing,to gather my insides Such a wide-open space. such a wide and open ache With answers to these hard and silent whys Look as far as you can toward the horizon Hear the low sound of the glory train Chances are I'll live to see the new moon risin' But I believe the likes of you I'll never see again On the wings of hope and angels, in the sounds of solitude I've circled ever closer to the heart of something true Most courage is an answer, a firm or shaky "yes" When you cannot see the outcome, but still giving it your best Such a wide-open space. such a wide and open ache With answers to these hard and silent whys I saw you walk away, I saw you waving I know your leaving here, always to stay Is this a bad hand or just a slow horse Is it alright in time and due course In the normal course of walking over roads of light and storm With grief as a companion I have already come Some days it's hard to take a step and avoid another fall Still believing in the dark horse, when it's way to close to call. Such a wide-open space. such a wide and open ache With answers to these hard and silent whys
