Distance
The sweet scent of sea salt across your face
The million miles between our hearts both time and space
Memories of laughter, dancing and love together in one place
Do you remember the dress I wore and my white veil of lace?
The years have come and gone, but I'm still here
With each passing moment a breathless hope that you draw near
Pondering still on how it all ended, so much left unclear
Watching my changing reflection in this broken mirror
The end creeps closer in each passing moment, alone in death I fear
Blue majestic mountains set in front a fiery tipped orange sun
Only first seen truly with my eyes when into your arms I did run
Fate was set and paths chosen nothing to be undone
All the time spent together, long passionate nights of fun
Weight on my shoulders must weigh more than a ton
You loved me once and my heart was only for you
Why such a harsh decision in the end we both came to
Your eyes now only see a sky of green and the ocean blue
A fog has set in and the past has become a hue
12,000 miles away from me your heart flew
The hands of the clock are coming to a stop
They say my heart no longer works and my blood pressure will drop
My thoughts are with you as I leave this wrinkled shell
I hear beautiful music and the distant familiar sound of a ringing wedding church bell
