about

It's a love song!

lyrics

Wide Horizons, and a dusting of clouds. There's no clear line where the sea should be
You fly your kite high up in the clouds. Why should that frighten me?

I've lived my life in cramped tiny rooms, with just four walls and a door
My life restricted in busy city streets. Forgotten there could be more ...

Now we're walking high up in the hills. There's no clear line where the path should be
You fly your kite high up in the hills. Why should that frighten me?

Last night sleeping I reached for your hand, wanted you wrapped round my heart
Your body curling round to keep me safe - you're so far away when we're apart.

Wide horizons make me scared to look far. There's no clear line where our lives should be.
You fly your kite of love high in the clouds. Why should that frighten me?

Now when I dream I dream you are here. I dream you're just within touch.
Waking comes harder now with every new day, to find I could need you so much.

Wide horizons and a dusting of clouds. There's no clear line where the dreams could be.
I'll fly my kite high up in the clouds and we'll find out what we can see ...
