So Close, So Far - Glass Hammer

Time is stronger than my feeble desires

I watched you grow older but the island drew no closer

I can gaze from afar at the shore

Without wings I could never do more

Time spent fighting dragons is wasted, now I know

I wish I had learned to swim instead

But I didn’t want to get my feet wet

Now I hear empty words on the wind

Echo back from the past once again

Time also must give in to the rules of the game it plays

All things can change, if it is our will

Love

Is stronger than you see — stronger than entropy

And we can defeat death, if it is our will

If I could only find the words to say

If I could ever find the words to say

Time is ever, time is losing

We have futures of our choosing

(So far away, yet so close)

As we go on we grow more like each other

The changes of time will bring us together

The journey of a thousand miles, the story goes

Begins not with a step but with the will to step

And so the day may yet come when I’m by your side
