I could fly away
Leave for good today
To a new world somewhere far beyond
Or you could set sail
For the sun's fading trail
And I could watch you till you're gone
But it wouldn't matter now
No it couldn't change what I see
If a thousand miles lay between us today
You're still at the heart of me
If your face can't be
Ever here before me
I can always hold you in my mind
And live in the past
Your ghost gave up at last
More real now than pa**ing time
But it wouldn't matter now
It couldn't change what I see
If a thousand miles lay between us today
You're still at the heart of me
Time's been a shroud
And it's left me confused
Surrendered to pain in the name of a truth
That sang in my ear all that I stood to lose
Come what may
Our faith is a well
And down deep I can tell
I'm as thirsty as a mortal can be
Silence abounds
And it's ringing through town
Like a bell swinging high over me
And it wouldn't matter now
No it couldn't change what I see
If a thousand miles lay between us today
You're still at the heart of me
If a thousand miles lay between us today
You're still at the heart of me
