Wishbone Ash : Blue Horizon
Lyrics
1. TAKE IT BLACK
Early on you were a dreamer
First class non-believer
In all the things they said that
You could never do
Deep down you did the digging
Tied tight all the rigging
Your ship was set to sail
Your seven fantasies
Later on you were a lover
First kiss with another
Chose who you want to be with
Bells in the chapel rung
Soon you got some kids to call your own
Work your fingers to the bone
Dedicate yourself to family
Life runs ahead of you
Take it back, take it back, take your life back
Now you've gone and lost direction
Lost love of detection
Some things are gonna fall apart
Hold your head up again
She may have gone and left you
New job could have killed you
Turns out you act your age now
Try messing up again
Take it back, take it back, take your life back
Take it back
Take it back
Claim your life and take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Claim your life and take it back.
2. DEEP BLUE
You come to me with that smile on your face
That same old look in your eyes
I notice that there's not a hair out of place
Your sweet mouth telling more lies
You tell me it's different and you'll change this time
But the trouble is I've heard it before
You see it's always me in the firing line
I just can't take any more
You're no longer my desire
Your blues are way too deep
You kill the mood and you put out the fire
Your blues are way too deep
You failed to read all the warning signs
Refused to see the red flags
And now I guess you've just run out of time
Blowing the last chance we had
You're no longer my concern
My heart is mine to keep
It seems to me you'll never learn
Your blues are way too deep
You know you suck all the air from a room
Get your friends around to compensate
Too many times they've heard that same old tune
It's more than they appreciate
For seven long years I gave you good advice
Thinking it would make a difference some day
I gave you the goods to make a better life
But you took them all and threw it away
You're no longer my desire
Your blues are way too deep
You kill the mood and you put out the fire
Your blues are way too deep
You're no longer my concern
My heart is mine to keep
It seems to me you'll never learn
Your blues are way too deep.
3. STRANGE HOW THINGS COME BACK AROUND
Strange how things come back around
Same chemistry and there's that sound
Go so high then you float back down
Strange how things come back around
Look towards the rising sun
All that you see comes from the one
Go your own way and I'll go mine
Spirits fly and then combine
Go so high, float back down
Look towards the rising sun
All that you see comes from the one
Go so high then you float back down
Strange how things come back around
Strange how things come back around
Strange how things come back around
Go so high, float back down.
4. BEING ONE
Ocean rising, cities fall
Storm howling, eagles call
Ice melting, rivers flow
Love comes, love goes
Past the point of no return
And still the sun keeps shining on
Man devises, reaps what he sews
Love comes, love goes
Past the point of no return
5. WAY DOWN SOUTH
The funds are low and the debts are high
I need to smile but I have to sigh
So just one kiss before I go
I'll find a place and I'll let you know
I think I see a future way down South
I'll find some time for thinking
They say that life is slower way down South
Where summer spends the winter
Way down South
I'm leaving town and I won't be back
Making moves and I'm making tracks
I don't know quite where I'll end up
Somewhere warm with any luck
I think I see a future way down South
I'll find some time for thinking
They say that life is slower way down South
Where summer spends the winter
Way down South
I think I see a future way down South
I'll find some time for thinking
They say that life is slower way down South
Where summer spends the winter
Way down South
Way down South.
6. TALLY HO !
So you trusted the bankers when they gave you that loan
At a crazy percentage and it cost you your home
Let the fat cats know how you really feel
It's cold in their shadow, hard under their heel
Tally Ho! And so it goes
We have a choice, we can turn this around
Raise up your voices and stand your ground
We'll not be silenced there can be no doubt
They're the insiders we're taking them out
Tally Ho! And so it goes.
7. MARY JANE
You're cruel lover, all take and no give
A bad mother, just let me live
I feel like floating, purged of all pain
Joy and wonder, I'll take you again
You're a mean mean fiddler, you play with my mind
You're a bad bad teacher, making pupils go blind
You're a glimpse of heaven, a trip to the edge
I long to be near you, let's meet on the ledge
Daytime or twilight, darkness and light
Melting quietly, and stay up all night
Mary Jane you're a timeless dream
You're multidimensional, if you know what I mean
You float me up gently, slower than slow
And then I come down like glistening snow
You're a cruel lover, all take and no give
A bad mother, just let me live
Dreaming in ether, too good to be true
Senses run riot, am I me or you?
My heart starts racing, but I'm still in control
Retaining connections, mind body and soul
Mary Jane you lead me through mazes
You always amaze me, you make me go crazy
You show me new places I take giant steps
Like walking a tightrope with no safety net
Mary Jane you're a timeless dream
You're multidimensional, if you know what I mean
You float me up gently, slower than slow
And then I come down like glistening snow.
8. AMERICAN CENTURY
Looking out on a New England town
Thinking on what brought the British down
Thirteen colonies were overrun
Power turning on a book and a gun
Hear the call to arms
(There's a rising up)
End of silence
(The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny
(Take a stand)
Open sympathy
(And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence
Power resting in the hands of a few
Paranoia once again, it's true
Shadows fall across this broken land
Disillusion people understand
Hear the call to arms
(There's a rising up)
End of silence
(The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny
(Take a stand)
Open sympathy
(And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence.
9. BLUE HORIZON
The mindless mind is something to seek
There's nothing to fear and no words to speak
Silence that neither affirms or denies
No verbal expression makes sense of this life
Living with only compassion in mind
No teacher, no leader, a time beyond time
On the road to love everyone will arrive
To the essence of being, the meaning of life
I've got my eyes on the blue horizon
I'm a seeker you see, enlightened and free
I've got my eyes on the blue horizon
I'm a seeker you see, enlightened and free
The mindless mind is something to seek
There's nothing to fear and no words to speak
Silence that neither affirms or denies
No verbal expression makes sense of this life
I've got my eyes on the blue horizon
I'm a seeker you see, enlightened and free
I've got my eyes on the blue horizon
I'm a seeker you see, enlightened and free.
10. ALL THERE IS TO SAY
There's a deep dark place in the heart of us all
Quick praise for the foll
Time and tide wait for no man
The devil finds work for idle hands
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
This is a truth we can all understand
There's an altered state in the heart of your mind
Folks laughing you once maligned
Fortune favours the brave man
Wherever you tread you find shifting sands
Raise a glass to the greater good
You are someone we now understand
You've been a victim, this will go nowhere
The wizard leaves you hanging in mid-air
Time and tide wait for no man
The Devil makes work for idle hands
Empty vessels make the most sound
Your crew on the bridge and they're watching you drown
When I meet my judgement day
And I finally have my say
I'll look for your face in the crowd
Cry that name out loud
We will leave no stone unturned
Old bridges long since burned
Nothing left undone
No song in our hearts unsung.
Early on you were a dreamer
First class non-believer
In all the things they said that
You could never do
Deep down you did the digging
Tied tight all the rigging
Your ship was set to sail

Turns out you act your age now

Take it back, take it back, take your life back
Take it back

Claim your life and take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Claim your life and take it back.
