Distance Copyright (c)2001 Raquel Lung

By Sweet Girl

I can always feel your smile-whenever you call

The love flows through the line-with a silent stall.

Why the silence?-Why is it here?

Can we block it out-Throw away the fear?

God,it hurts-when I hear your voice

But I continue to listen-I made the choice.

The Distance slaps me-right in the face

It steals your love-imprisons your embrace.

How long can you stay-when the touch is so far?

How long can I wish-on that same distant star?

The absence tears-the heart so deep

Exactly,how much-of you can I keep?

Opportunities can knock-everyday

How long can you send-them all away?

Without breaking down-and giving in

Should we forfeit now?-Is there a chance to win?

The game is turning-who's turn now?

There's a way to conquer-and win, somehow.

Will we ever know?-Through all the cofusion?

Is this Love for real?-Or just an Illusion?

The Distance creeps-all through the night

I can feel it near-tho' out of sight.

I want to reach for you-reach back for me

The Distance is thick-I can't even see.

How much longer-til we reach that star?

Are we any closer?Are we still too far?

Please reassure me-just make me smile

Just let me keep you-while lost in the Mile.
