'You're so far away,'� you say,
and I know what you mean;
I'm on your horizon,
with the world in between







'I'm closer than you think,'�
and you think you understand;
two hearts won't part,
for ocean and land.







'I can feel you at night,'� you say,
and I smile.
You hold me close then,
if only for a while.







'And that is right,'�
and you have to agree;
you're sure you're in heaven,
when you're with me.







'But you leave me at day,'� you say,
and I confess;
when the morning's the more,
I'm with you the less.







'And that is wrong,'�
and you know that it's true;
to have me for real,
would mean everything to you.











'Why won't you come?'�
you ask me at last.














'Because I'm already with you,
and with one step closer, I'd be past.'�
