A song about sailing with imagery of warm seas, white beaches, palm trees, friendly people. Little did I know that 4 years later I would actually be living this exact life in the Caribbean.

One day I was looking at my Windows XP desktop wallpaper, which was the little sandy island with palm trees on it, surrounded by blue ocean. The first couple of lines of the song came to me and eventually a storyline formed in my head about a 'day in the life' in a tropical paradise.
THE BLUE HORIZON by Mike Pilling
CHORUS
The blue horizon
Is calling me
The sun is risin
On a distant sea
A clear blue ocean
With sky above
Feel the motion
Feel the love
V1
Daydreaming all about sailing
Cool fresh wind on my face
Coconut palms on the white sand
Lose the rat race
Soon we'll be cutting a clean wake
Sails all full of the breeze
Real world just made a clean break
Alone on the seas
CH
V2
As we push for our destination
The copper sun disappears
The distant joy of calypso
Starts to fill our ears
A smiling man, he takes the lines
Walks us up to the town
Some rum, some lime, some coconut wine
Good times all around
BRIDGE
The moon, the waves, the streets don't have names
No-one demands a thing
At sunrise we'll head back out to sea
And see what tomorrow brings
CH
