The Distance Between
I fear the lost art
The sculptor of the dark heart
Who tells me to play my part?
One hundred miles apart
I fear the dark art
Of the sculptor of the lost heart
Who tells me how to make the ark,
When we’re one hundred miles apart
I wish I knew
The painter of the chroma-key
Or the writer of the sea
To ask, “Could you recreate this scene for me?”
What I see, I can not hear
What I hear, I can not see
I’m engaged to what I fear
And divorced from the lovely key
It doesn’t matter
If you’re on the other side of the door
It might as bee 100 miles
Because I have no key to free anymore
That’s why I fear
The blackness in outer space
Between the lights I might lose my place
Where all life is erased
The distance is growing
But it might as well be 100, a million, a galaxy apart
Because I’m practicing lost art
And sculpting the dark heart
As my love which swallows my fear
