lyrics
when deep inside I felt this pain
unbearable, I feared
my dreams would shift to other worlds
with arms that opened wide
where space and air and sky and sea
would hold me while I healed
for tears I sensed streamed deep inside
a million ones, a million ones
in warm, embracing arms
I felt my pain could hide
for closeness seemed so close
but distance still so far
the native tongue, of no use there
for she’d become estranged
I needed prose from other shores
that dared to speak of grief
through vast horizon’s sweet embrace
my pain resolved, my faith was restored
in crooked tongue, with wavering voice
I spoke the words, inapt before
with wavering tongue, in crooked voice
I found my way around it all
for closeness seems just right here
and distance is no longer far
unbearable, I feared
my dreams would shift to other worlds
with arms that opened wide
where space and air and sky and sea
would hold me while I healed
for tears I sensed streamed deep inside
a million ones, a million ones
in warm, embracing arms
I felt my pain could hide
for closeness seemed so close
but distance still so far
the native tongue, of no use there
for she’d become estranged
I needed prose from other shores
that dared to speak of grief
through vast horizon’s sweet embrace
my pain resolved, my faith was restored
in crooked tongue, with wavering voice
I spoke the words, inapt before
with wavering tongue, in crooked voice
I found my way around it all
for closeness seems just right here
and distance is no longer far
