You've been away 800 days But at night I sleep just fine Far away, alone, I comb the earth Your tree gives birth to 6000 birds When you're away I'm alright cause I can feel you near When you're away I glide on waves from there to here We close our eyes We breathe in time And we heed the hallowed bell The monks are chanting, secret messengers The children whisper tethers unheard When you're away I'm alright cause I can feel you near When you're away I glide on waves from there to here When you're away I'm alright cause I can feel you near When you're away I glide on waves from there to here
