When I was a child I saw her every day |
|
I never dared to touch her, scared to break the spell |
|
And now the years have passed us by |
|
And all that could have been is left behind |
|
'Cause I loved her |
|
Safe from a distance |
|
Every day a million people flow the street |
|
Their faces blank |
|
They talk but do not ever meet |
|
They all have important things to do |
|
They all have things to watch on TV |
|
'Cause they all watch life |
|
Safe from a distance |
|
They all touch love |
|
Safe from a distance |
|
But I want it |
|
And I need it |
|
Come and touch me |
|
Come and reach me |
|
Through the distance |
|
'Cause we all live life |
|
Safe from a distance |
|
But my heart will bleed |
|
Through all this distance |
|
And my voice will cry |
|
All through the distance |
