Across the distant worlds, far off in the sky I can hear your calling voice, when the planets come sailing by The nights all sound the same, clouds drifting away The ocean sings my name, but my heart aches every day 'Cause when we ran across the hills in the breeze You gave me a gentle smile And when we lay under the shade of the trees We were with the world for a little while In times of loneliness, they say you should be strong But I can't live like this when the evenings are so long Life around me always grows, like flowers in the spring Yet I ignore everything it shows, and the changes it may bring 'Cause when we ran across the hills in the breeze You gave me a gentle smile And when we lay under the shade of the trees We were with the world for a little while 'Cause when we ran across the hills in the breeze You gave me a gentle smile And when we lay under the shade of the trees We were with the world for a little while
