from Into the Mystery
..............................................

Her car is how she left it. No dust has gotten in
The key turns on the dash lights, and the CD player spins
You hear her favorite music, the words she used to sing
The last song she was playing, now comes to life again

Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see

Well, so much for forever, and the promise of a song
Why save her list of errands after she is gone
Her bracelet?s on the gear shift, and her sweater smells like her
And still her music?s playing, as if she might return

Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see

You race away with wheel spin, and you?re slamming through the gears
And the headlights blur and sparkle to see them through your tears
And someone will find the wreckage, with the wheels turned to the sky
Led there by the music, singing through the night

Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see, as far as I can see

Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see, as far as I can see
As far as I can see
As far as I can see
