There might be a line from me to you
It bends and it winds round coast lines and towns
It shadows the ground and it follows the sun
It takes it's time but waits for no-one
It swims the great oceans with ships and with sharks
It flies with migrations of starlings and larks
Is there any worse feeling than having nothing to hope for?
Well I think it exists but what there is there are no words for
You are away I am right here
You are away I am right here
It shivers in the darkness and it waits with no sound
It tangles in the branches and hangs from them down
It listens with patience and it follows your voice
And my heart goes with it and I have no choice
I'm a ravenous soul weeping
I'm a pipe about to burst
I'm the tip-toe shadow creeping it's way toward evening
I'm a song sung in reverse
You are away I am right here
You are away I am right here
There might be a line
