Joe Henry - At The Heart Of Me lyrics

I could fly away Leave for good today To a new world somewhere far beyond Or you could set sail For the sun's fading trail And I could watch you till you're gone But it wouldn't matter now No it couldn't change what I see If a thousand miles lay between us today You're still at the heart of me If your face can't be Ever here before me I can always hold you in my mind And live in the past Your ghost gave up at last More real now than pa**ing time But it wouldn't matter now It couldn't change what I see If a thousand miles lay between us today You're still at the heart of me Time's been a shroud And it's left me confused Surrendered to pain in the name of a truth That sang in my ear all that I stood to lose Come what may Our faith is a well And down deep I can tell I'm as thirsty as a mortal can be Silence abounds And it's ringing through town Like a bell swinging high over me And it wouldn't matter now No it couldn't change what I see If a thousand miles lay between us today You're still at the heart of me If a thousand miles lay between us today You're still at the heart of me
