At This Great 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.
Memory
ancient light from a binary star
bends across a receeding tide
a single point of light st this great distance
at this great distance only the eye
pressed against the telescope of dreams
sees two stars
two stars, two white hot lines on a firey white
spinning madly on lines defined
by each others gravity.
and by the time we see
the light of memory
there is no hope
theres no hope
only memory
they danced to songs
played at the speed of light
red shifting
untouchable
at this great distance two stars, two souls
become one single point of light
not hot
not cold
not you
not me
only memory
Chorus
only memory - at this great distance
(repeat to end
