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 passing 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
