Distant Light Highway

(album: The Redshift - 2008)

Seen the ways of the old
Hung around
With the newbies
Out in the cold
For matters and reasons now long gone
I'm told
Bold moves souls sold
And you wish you were special
Each passing day

Hey, you visitors
And the sons of the mother
Let me sing you a song
A melody from a tear
Carved out of fear
They are gathered into my heart

Count the moment
A leap over a gorge
Lash the whip if you must
But remember
Gentlemen are known to talk

Count the moment
A leap over a gorge
Lash the whip if you must
But remember
Gentlemen are known to talk
Count the moment
A leap over a gorge
Lash the whip if you must
But remember
Gentlemen are known to walk

This centered path took 'em home
Where the father and the unknown are known
To disappear
From the yearning thoughts of men
We never caved
All the souls were saved
Just to be bold

Hey, you visitors
And the sons of the mother
Let me sing you a song
A melody from a tear
Carved out of fear
They are gathered into my heart
