Life On a Distant Star - Vanessa Daou

There’s fire on the mountain

But it’s just another sun

The Earth is next

To nothing on the horizon

Here the nights are crimson

The color of my heart

Closer to oblivion

Light years apart

I’m much too far

From where you are

Life on a distant star

Time is always leaving

Everyone behind

Distance can shrink a mountain

Though you couldn’t climb

I’m much too far

From where you are

Life on a distant star

Do you care if I’m lonely?

I wonder if you care

You can’t run from isolation

Even though you may be scared

I’m much too far

From where you are

Life on a distant star
