lyrics

I stood and watched as the wheels went round
Another shift heading underground
A silhouette of a landmark of our time

Everything that we have revolves
Around a world where the light dissolves
Into the shadows we all will leave behind

But it looks as though a change has come
And our days are numbered one by one
‘Til the lights go out across this town

We’re looking at a new horizon
Beneath the cooling towers
They’re giving us a new horizon
And telling us the future will be ours

We stood in line on the final day
And watched our world as it slipped away
There’s nothing here to take its place

Everything that we have revolves
Around a world where the light dissolves
Into the shadows we all will leave behind

And it looks as though we’re moving on
Though it’s not goodbye to everyone
As the lights go out across this town

We’re looking at a new horizon
Beneath the cooling towers
They’re building us a new horizon
And telling us the future will be ours

This time next year
Not a clue where I’ll be
But I’ll carry on
Just as long as you’re waiting there for me

(Instrumental)

And it looks as though we’re moving on
Though it’s not goodbye to everyone
As the lights go out across this town

We’re looking at a new horizon
Beneath the cooling towers
They’re giving us a new horizon
And telling us the future will be ours


A new horizon
Beneath the cooling towers
They’re building us a new horizon
And telling us the future will be ours
