Blue Horizon Lyrics - Deepcut To Nowhere - Graham Parker

We'd follow the sound of the dirt tracking bikes 

into the sunset into the sunset 

or the wings of a painted lady butterfly 

that escaped the net escaped the net 

or the cry of a long lost bird 

that defied identification 

you could hear it from the air raid shelter 

with the walls soaked to saturation 

these dreams will never sleep 

they wake me from my adult slumber 

they have no schedule to keep 

and they drive me onward 

into the blue horizon

I'd hit the ground running 

I'd hit the ground hard 

and jump up alert jump up alert 

my mother and father watched over me 

and made sure I never really got hurt 

made sure I was never stifled or bound 

that's what everybody 

needs in their background 

that's the rock you build your mountain on 

and it can never never fall down 

these dreams will never sleep 

they wake me from my adult slumber 

they have no schedule to keep 

and they drive me onward 

into the blue horizon

My friends all grew up 

and some went out 

all around the world and back again too 

some of them stayed put in their home town 

well there's worst things that you can do 

some of them married 

a couple of them died 

some of them just go along for the ride 

can't claim to understand what it all means 

probably nothing but that's not how it seems 

these dreams will never sleep 

they wake me from my adult slumber 

they have no schedule to keep 

and they drive me onward 

into the blue horizon
