Over A Red Horizon

Rain is hissing.
You are missing.
Miss your kissing
since I went away.

Time is taking
the dreams I'm making.
I'm just faking
when I think I'm okay

and I recall the lies
that broke my heart to see
and so I close my eyes
and I jump

and I fly free,
over a red horizon,
and I fly free
over a burning sea,
and I see you
on the first day I saw you
and you smile.

Why'd you do it?
Why'd you screw it?
You just threw it
away overnight,

now tears soak me
because you broke me
and you woke me
like a bat in the light

and I recall the lies
that broke my heart to see
and so I close my eyes
and I jump

and I fly free,
over a red horizon,
and I fly free
over a burning sea,
and I see you
on the first day I saw you
and you smile.

because I still love you
I think you still love me
but your deceit was way too much
I can't go back to you

so I'll fly free,
over a red horizon,
and I'll fly free
over a burning sea,
and I'll see you
on the first day I saw you
and your smile.

Drove on empty
where fate sent me
all my plenty
is raining away...
