Hotel Vast Horizon

Chris Whitley


I'll meet you there when 
the evening writhes 
I will know the location 
by the look in your eyes 

The void and the vista 
the fugitives gone 
I'll see you there 
at the Hotel Vast Horizon 

All them authorizations 
we must have missed 
are just the dictions dissolving 
when we kissed 

Just to transfigure 
where others have fallen 
I'll see you there 
at the Hotel Vast Horizon 
see you there 

A long trail of lovers 
came out of the prison 
it becomes a matter of habit* 
after the season 
and the distance's mirror 
the witnesses gone 

I'll see you there 
at the Hotel Vast Horizon 
see you there
