Opposite Shore

See you riding your horse along the shore

In a brand new dream I’ve had before

Riding out to the edge of night

I never learn if you return all right

It’s a common thread that we all share

We all fall down in the dark somewhere

A secret kept close to the bone

We all go out in the dark alone

Live long enough and you’ll see the light

Over on the opposite shore tonight

Watch the stars as they arrive

Light moves on but it does survive

Do we come back? Someday return?

Learn to fly or crash and burn?

You can light a fire ---- just strike a match

But time’s a thief you can never catch

Maybe somewhere someday there’ll be a dawn

Where we all get up and carry on

If it comes, I’ll see you there

Out on the opposite shore somewhere

Do we come back? Someday return?

Learn to fly or crash and burn?

There is no way to forget your loss,

But time is a river you can never cross
