<b>As far as the eye can see</b> by <i>Ceilí Moss</i><br />As I went out to see my old love one more time, I thought again

Of all the times we had to talk about our deeds, but we failed

I've given most of my time to a job and to mundanities

And now, it's late, I fear, I'm slowly decaying by degrees

ref. And according to what I see, there is no sense

There is not much to say, there is no evidence

That life ain't no wasteland of broken down dreams

As far as the eye can see

We had such high hopes and we had money to spend

There was a world to gain, just there around the bend

There were fields of gold, valleys of milk and honey

As far as the eye can see

So day by day, our blood, our bones, our strength, our belief, our faith in God

Gets slowly deconstructed, eroded, and turns into mud

It's not that we decide to give up faith and courage all the way

It's just that points of view get blurred a little more day by day

ref.

Think about all those who died for no reason

Would you still say it's a wonderful life?

If there is one thing to say about mankind

There is nothing kind about man

Oh Lord, protect from those who bark your name

They're the most likely to kill me someday

I don't believe you go to Heaven when you're good

Everything goes to Hell anyway

ref.

So now I guess i'd better remain silent, I'm gone anyway

But please beware of your dreams, they will make your hair turn to grey
