Lyrics
The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You arrive, now that I must leave
I'll take one step out of the nice dream
Into, into something unknown, something unkind
Somewhere so quiet, gone from your side
Send me to lie here
Forever unseen
The distance is killing me, killing me
The distance between
I just want to die
I just want to lose you
But no one else can soothe like you would do for me
Soothe some of my doubts, all of my lives
Set them on wires, set them on wire
Send them through black for me
Forever unseen
The distance is killing me, killing me
The distance between
Why, why would you leave here
Right when I need you
No, I can't see you
Out in the open
Out in the darkness
Here where I knew you
Here in my heart
