Far from Me

When the air you breathe is laden
with soft sighs
And the moon shines on your brow,
Keep your dreams inside a world
behind your eyes,
For the home that keeps you now
away from dimness
Will make you believe your love
is like an illness.
Close your eyes...

When your face reveals what goes on
in your heart
And your hands just can't keep still,
Hold your secret wishes in a world apart,
And let no one know your will,
and leave you weeping
With a heap of rags where once
your dreams were sleeping.
Close your mind...

When the ground becomes a rug
of broken leaves
And the breeze is harsh and fierce,
Foreign winds bring dazing rumours
through the trees,
And I'm broken down and cold,
And you're so far from me,
And the songs I sing are old.
And you're so above me...
Close my eyes...
