Lyrics

The distance
Somethings creepin up on my heart - I feel it mostly in the evening dark
And its the distance - between hello and goodbye
Somethings aching like a cold vein - I wanna hold you – but there’s just no way
And the distance – could swallow me whole
Now I’m living in another time zone - on the edge of Paris - It’s a new home,
and I’m growing again - into a new skin
Seasons changing like a stop light - Breezes blowing like you through my thoughts tonight
And the distance – could never break this chain
I’m torn between what I want and what I need - I couldn’t say it but I had to leave
Coz I was worn, and tired of bleeding
Now I’m living in another time zone - on the edge of Paris - It’s a new home,
and I’m growing again - into a new skin
So while I’m rolling down a country lane - while your riding down some freeway
I’m 10 hours apart in a slow dream, wishing - you were here, hanging in my kitchen
So think of me when the gums tree shiver - in the warm breeze by the Murray river
Hold on until the world’s re-spinning – coz we can turn and ending into a beginning
Now I’m living in another time zone - on the edge of Paris - It’s a new home,
and I’m growing again - into a new skin
So think of me when the sun fades - You know I’m not really that far away
and the distance could never keep us apart.
