From the recording Horizon Line
We recorded this at Full Glass Studios with Tommy Sherrod engineering and on bass; Dave Hadley on pedal steel and Eddie Dickerson on fiddle. That's me on guitar and vocals.
Lyrics
Orion is rising in the late September sky.
Sure a sign winter’s closing in.
The days go by slow but the years keep flying by.
Feeling like my time is not my own.
Horizon line, you used to be a friend to me.
Promises of days to come, dreams I could not see.
Glitter gold, setting sun and all those songs yet to be sung.
Now you’re calling me home.
Mom and Dad where have you gone?
You left us here to carry on.
Old photographs holding you in place.
Did you go down to Highlands?
Did you take the Saviour’s hands?
Did he heal you with his everlasting grace?
Horizon line, you used to be a friend to me.
Far off hallowed ground where heaven touches down.
Glitter gold, setting sun and all those songs yet to be sung.
Now you’re calling me home.
Sometime soon the day will come
between the eastern moon and western sun.
On that narrow road through the needle’s eye.
On that day the leaves will fall.
I will hear the trumpets call.
A clarion of angels in the sky.
Horizon line you guide me still and always will.
Lead me to the gate. How long must I wait?
Glitter gold, setting sun. We’re on the road to kingdom come.
Now you’re calling me home.
