Lyrics

New Love - written by John Guliak. Dedicated, and with thanks, to John Newlove and his poem The Double-Headed Snake (First 3 lines of third verse taking directly from the poem)
There’s a song just along the horizon
I feel it callin‘ out to me
Just as long as I keep on drivin’ I’ll be free
But the road’s slow risin’ below me
Reminds me that I’ll never get too far
From when you moved sure and easy in my arms

I’m moving again
Always twisting in the wind
Forever falling, euphorically all in for you (X2)

Somewhere on the distant plain
She watches another lover dance and sing
In the dust that holds the ghosts and bones
Of the buffalo and Cree
Her arms are never awkward around you
Her eyes gather up the sky
Into a cool shade of blue that leaves you high

I’m dancing again
Watch me twisting in the wind
Forever falling, euphorically all in for you (X2)

Remembrance hurts like a foolish act
Is a foolish act and yet
The greatest beauty is to be alive forgetting nothing
Every time the wind dances over the wheat
I remember the river where you laid down with me
