If you are far, then what is this I feel br The weight within my heart, upon my hands br If this is distance, does it fall br Between us, does it own us br Or do we tame and name it for ourselves? br br If we cannot be sitting side by side br To watch the crucial moments of the night br The falling of the sun, the rising of the tide br The duel of stars and moon, are these not seen br On every shore of the same mother earth? br br If there are tiny birds that sing br Around your hair of sunlight when I call br Will I not be so glad to know the song br That softly breaks the silence of your sleep br While I rest here with music and guitar? br br Distance, tides, the winds of human fate br Dress the land in newly-fashioned clothes br For each new dawn, expression of our hearts br The words we cannot say br But know will pass between us every day.
