I never saw you slipping over the horizon Yet I knew you'd set your sail to the sea You wore this world like a chain around your ankle Though I cry for you, I do believe you're free We ran together, Indians and pirates Smoked cherry blend in our Dr.Graybow pipes And in our uniforms we marched and were handsome Just got tighter, every time we had a fight Bridge.: Years take their toll Dreams come and go Of all the things we're after Love is all that matters Last time I saw you we talked about Jesus We laughed and toasted to the good times and the bad Now you've sailed off somewhere over the horizon You were a brother I never had Now you're off somewhere beyond the horizon And the Lord has taken hold of your hand
