Lyrics

The Emerald Horizon

Well the air is green with worry
And the mud’s been losing sleep
And the horses and the cats are running toward the barn
Tell your father
Tell your neighbour
Tell the fortune teller
This might be what you’ve been running away from

Storm’s a brewing, get inside
Lock the cellar door up tight
The dust is kicking up a fuss
It wants to be a part of us

Destiny has been a-flirting
With the man behind the curtain
Is he a wizard or a god?
You can tell me that you exist
Come on baby you can’t resist
But i know that you’re a champagne spiritualist
I know there is so much more than this

Well, the emerald horizon
Is the things she’s got her eyes on
Arrested by the sweet seduction of sleep
Alert the papers
Call your mother
It’s a horse of a different colour
Ride on his green back to the emerald horizon

All of our minds have gone to bliss
From the ruby poppy’s kiss
Sent us spinning into dreaming
Of an old black and white scene
