Edge of the Horizon
by Robert Ramage

Intro
I never thought your footprints
Would fade into the tide,
But the truth rolls in like waves—
No place left for us to hide.
---
Verse 1
Beach-bum of a wife, you bailed when my heart hit the floor,
Chased the tides and the sunsets, didn’t need me anymore.
I reached for the truth, but you drifted so far,
Your love slipped away like the last fading star.
---
Verse 2
I know there’s two sides to a story,
Even when the night feels long.
Maybe you were chasing freedom,
Maybe I was holding on too strong.
Still I stood in the silence, aching for a spark—
Trying to find your shadow in the dark.
---
Verse 3
I gave you my shelter, my time, my all,
But you traded my touch for the ocean’s call.
And I can’t blame the waves for pulling you in,
You fell for the horizon like a long-lost friend.
---
Verse 4
But here I am standing, steady in the night,
Learning how to breathe in the absence of your light.
And maybe someday you’ll look back and see—
Not every broken heart falls easily.
---
Chorus
You ran to the sand, to the sun sinking low,
Left me with questions I may never know.
Your love drifted out where the wild winds sing,
Off the edge of the horizon like it never meant a thing.
But I’m rising from the shadows where you left your mark,
Finding my way though I’m stumbling in the dark.
---
Bridge
Maybe you needed the peace,
Maybe I needed the pain,
Maybe love’s just a storm
We both walked through in the rain.
But even broken hearts learn how to restart—
And mine’s beating again, piece by piece, part by part.
---
Outro
So here’s to the sunsets you chose to chase,
And here’s to the man learning to fill his own space.
Your memory’s a whisper carried off by the sea—
But the dawn’s breaking now…
and it’s finally breaking for me.
