lyrics

Who do I see before me
That face I came so far to see
Forever and a day, or so it seems
Absence of presence and what that means
That ocean of distance has dried
Passage of time measured by new lines around eyes
----
A stray
Away
----
And now here we are after it all
Still present to answer the call
In mind I never left
Clever strategies to maintain memories
The way it has to be for familiarity
As long as I’m a voice between miles
A picture to ease this trial
Determined, no denial
----
A stray
Away
----
(chorus)
The distance is so great
The weight of waiting
So far away with no way
To sway the tide of fate
The distance is so great
The weight of waiting
So far away with no way
To sway the tide of fate
-----
I’m low, slowed down by the box I’m in
A matchstick boat in a circular sea
Retreat round and round
The sound of home
Embedded in the crashing waves
But I swear one of these days
We’ll be reunited, no longer divided
-----
A stray
Away
-----
(chorus)
The distance is so great
The weight of waiting
So far away with no way
To sway the tide of fate
The distance is so great
But I’ve done my waiting
I’ve been away for endless days
But now the tide is calm, at least today
