Name: Distant Ships
Duration: P00H05M08S
Description: They say the grass is always greener on the other side. The other side of what? When the day comes that you must finally give over to a situation you know will never change. That, despite the magical bond you share with another person, sometimes those things that are beyond your control (like the other person's free will!) dictate the terms of your friendship.

lyrics

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT, I COULDN’T SLEEP, I WAS MYSTIFIED,
BY THE MOONLIGHT ON YOUR PRECIOUS SKIN,
BUT WHEN MORNING COMES I’M GONE AGAIN................. MMM

FEAR IS A WORD I CAN’T EXPLAIN, SO MANY TIMES, LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN, SWEPT OUT IN THE STREET AGAIN;
TOO LATE MY FRIEND, ITS A LONG WAY BACK NOW WE’VE REACHED THE END........AAHA.....AAHA...

DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...
AAAHA........AAHA

TIME HAS A WAY OF BANDAGING, STIFLING THE HEMORRHAGE
STEMMING THE FLOW OF CHILDHOOD DREAMS
OF LIFE IN IT’S SIMPLICITY..........

DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...

OVER THE SEAS, I’M ON MY WAY, I CAN’T EXPLAIN, I WOULDN’T WANT TO SAY IT ANYWAY
BUT NOW THAT YOU’RE FREE, FREE OF ME, NOW YOU CAN BE ALL YOU WANT TO BE...... AAHA.....AAHA........

DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH......JUST LIKE........
DISTANT SHIPS ON THE HORIZON, THEY SAIL TO OTHER LANDS
AND SINK BEFORE THEY REACH THEIR DESTINATION
THEY FALL INTO THE SEA.......AAAAAAAAHHH, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME...

I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE I’VE BEEN,
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN’, I’LL NOT BE BACK AGAIN.........MY FRIEND…..UP AHEAD A BEND…..IT’S COMIN’ TO AN END.. YOU KNOW I MEAN IT THIS TIME THEN…………..AAAHHAAAAA
