From The Distance In Between

from Johanna, Johanna by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

She said "How have you been my lonely friend?
Are you still living life the same?
Do you still cry at night when there's no words to be said?
And sleep doesn't know your name."

"And what would you do if you had someone
if you never had to dream?
And where would you go with no empty time
would you feel so free?
Or locked and chained to misery.
Things they aren't as bad as they seem."

well she kissed me quick up against that fence
before my drummer came to see.
She said she had to go, that her ride was out front
and it was nice to see me.

And I'll always remember when she went away
and the feeling still remained.
And I thought I needed to find new friends
maybe some who could relate
to that life I had escaped.
To that life I had escaped.

So now I wander from place to place
with this broken heart in my chest.
And I find myself amongst the strangest of faces
in hopes that I will forget.

But that's not what I really want now is it?
She's the greatest friend I have known.
But a man once told me to find happiness
and with joy comes letting go
to what you love the most.
to what haunts you the most.

So now I say "How have you been my busy friend?
Are you still giving good advice?
Do you still wander around those ancient school grounds
looking for that bus you ride?"

And I miss you, do you miss me?
My sweet poet's dream.
And I can't wait to see
the fine woman you'll grow to be.
And I'll love you from the distance in between.
Yes I'll love you from the distance in between.
