we are closing in on the horizon this evening - but the horizon is receding closing in on peace we are closing in on peace this evening - though it may seem to be receding       * I remember being airborne during wartime gulf wartime last time a ring of fire on the horizon curve of the earth airborne in wartime circling central europe mont blanc through the clouds sent shivers up my spine sun hit the snow in perfect time descending to geneva why when the diplomats made this same descent did they not look left to mont blanc see god's white surrender flag of sun on snow and realize how low they crawled on the earth and how high their responsibility not to curse this world with their dirty little war there's a rim of fire on the horizon curve of the earth this evening me thinking tonight's the night the war should stop       * we are closing in on the horizon - but the horizon is receding closing in on peace we are closing in on peace this evening - though it may seem to be receding we are closing in on peace this evening       * andy white womad 9 & 16 march, 2003
