I Love You from Far Away

מילים

[Verse 1: Male] Your train pulls out beyond the harbor wall I keep your last note folded in my coat The salt air carries every word you said Across the water, still I hear you close [Verse 2: Female] I leave the porch lamp burning through the rain Though miles of dark lie folded in between I trace your name along the window glass And send my love where no one else can see [Pre-Chorus: Duet] One shore holds your footsteps One shore remembers mine The tide can draw a border It can’t undo the line [Chorus: Duet] I love you from far away Past the harbor, past the grey Though your hands are not in mine You are with me all the time I love you from far away And I’ll keep choosing you each day [Verse 3: Male] The old café still keeps your corner seat A chipped blue cup, a book you left behind I take the long way home along the quay And let the evening bring you to my mind [Verse 4: Female] Your picture rests beside my kitchen clock The frame is worn where I have touched it most If morning finds me counting miles again I’ll meet the day and love you through them all [Bridge: Duet] When winter lays its hand across the bay When every road runs out beneath the rain Hold fast to what we know, not what we lack A heart can cross the distance and come back [Final Chorus: Duet] I love you from far away Past the harbor, past the grey Though your hands are not in mine You are with me all the time I love you from far away And I’ll keep choosing you each day [Outro: Duet] Across the water, hear me say I love you from far away
