July For Kings - The Distance lyrics

Another quiet Monday evening This is the seventh in a row I'm wide awake and barely breathing In and out the great unknown The distance singing softly Calling out Keeping time From so far I smell a fire burning Something in it stirs I am suddenly nostalgic For what I am not quite sure There's no stillness in my mind No solace in the dark No stars I sit and watch the autumn colors change In careful patches leaves are rearranged The west wind blowin' Through the window screen I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind The world won't stop its spinning I pretend I have a choice About staying here or leaving For the laughter and the noise The distance singing softly Calling out Keeping time From so far I sit and watch the daylight dance away I wonder where it goes and where it stays The west wind blowin' Through the window screen And I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind I sit and watch the autumn colors change In careful patches leaves are rearranged The west wind blows Through the window screen And I hope its strong enough to carry me It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind It's been a long long day It's been a long long day It's been a long long day It's been a long long day For a sad sad song How the nights get cold When the summer moves on Am I running too fast Is my heart worn thin Am I running too fast Am I chasing the wind
