Beyond the horizon, behind the sun
At the end of the rainbow life has only begun
In the long hours of twilight 'neath the stardust above
Beyond the horizon it is easy to love.
I'm touched with desire
What don't i do?
Through flame and through fire
I'll build my world around you.
Beyond the horizon, in the springtime or fall
Love waits forever, for one and for all.
Beyond the horizon, across the divide
'Round about midnight, we'll be on the same side
Down in the valley the water runs cold
Beyond the horizon someone prayed for your soul.
My wretched heart is poundin'
I felt an angel's kiss
My memories are drownin'
In mortal bliss.
Beyond the horizon, at the end of the game
Every step that you take, i'm walking the same.
Beyond the horizon, the night winds blow
The theme of a melody from many moons ago
The bells of St. Mary, how sweetly they chime
Beyond the horizon, i found you just in time.
It's dark and it's dreary
I've been pleading in vain
I'm wounded 'n' i'm weary
My repentance is plain.
Beyond the horizon, o'er the treacherous sea
I still can't believe that you have set aside your love for me.
Beyond the horizon, 'neath crimson skies
In the soft light of morning i'll follow you with my eyes
Through countries and kingdoms and temples of stone
Beyond the horizon, right down to the bone.
It's the right time of the season
Somebody there always cared
There's always a reason
Why someone's life has been spared.
Beyond the horizon, the sky is so blue
I've got more than a lifetime to live lovin' you.
Modern Times is Bob Dylan's 32nd studio album, released on August 29, 2006 by Sony BMG.
The album was Dylan's third straight (following Time out of Mind and "Love and Theft") to be met with nearly universal praise from fans and critics. It continued its predecessors' tendencies toward blues, rockabilly and pre-rock balladry, and was self-produced by Dylan under the pseudonym "Jack Frost". Along with the acclaim, the album sparked some debate over its uncredited use of choruses and arrangements from older songs, as well as many lyrical lines taken from the work of 19th century poet Henry Timrod.
Modern Times became the singer-songwriter's first #1 album in the U.S. since 1976's Desire. At age 65, Dylan became the oldest living person at the time to have an album enter the Billboard charts at number one [1] (Neil Diamond has since earned the title). It also reached #1 in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, debuted #2 in Germany, Austria and Sweden. It reached #3 in the UK and The Netherlands and has sold over 4 million copies worldwide. As with its two studio predecessors, the album's packaging features minimal credits and no lyric sheet.
