Distant Shores Lyrics


COUPLET 1

So here you stand,

Still and pale,

Decaying flesh

In endless sorrow,

With a fading light

In your silent eyes,

A muted light,

A dying glow.

COUPLET 2

So here I stand,

Scared and broken,

My lips burning

With words unspoken.

Breathing still

Yet hardly living.

The weight of you

Is overwhelming.

COUPLET 3

What can be said,

What can be done,

When brothers meet

From different sides

Of that one night

Keeping us apart,

That single night

We can never take back.

COUPLET 4

So here we stand

In endless silence,

Face to face

From distant shores.

I’ll never reach

Your side of town,

You’ll never join

My side of night.

REFRAIN

Slowly you close your dead eyes,

Turn back then softly fade away

Into the hazy twilight,

Leaving my world just the same.

REFRAIN

Slowly you close your dead eyes,

Turn back then softly fade away

Into the hazy twilight,

Leaving my world just the same.
