[00:24.01]In my early years I hid my tears
[00:30.16] And passed my days alone
[00:36.21] Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
[00:41.81] My dreams like nets were thrown
[00:47.56] To catch the love that I'd heard of
[00:53.60] In books and films and songs
[00:58.80] Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
[01:04.34] In the place where the real world belongs
[01:10.64] Still I look for the beauty in songs
[01:16.39] To fill my head and lead me on
[01:22.09] Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
[01:27.69] As many times as love has come and gone
[01:33.69] To those gentle ones my memory runs
[01:39.85] To the laughter we shared at the meals
[01:46.24] I filled their kitchens and living rooms
[01:51.19] With my schemes and my broken wheels
[01:56.63] It was never clear how far or near
[02:02.78] The gates to my citadel lay
[02:08.43] They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
[02:14.32] But they listened to mine anyway
[02:19.71] I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
[02:25.69] It could be I've lost my way
[02:31.58] Though I keep a watch over the distance
[02:36.61] Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
[02:41.70] And the angels are older
[02:49.04] They know not to wait up for the sun
[02:53.17] They look over my shoulder
[02:57.89] At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun
[03:52.70] Now the distance leads me farther on
[03:58.67] Though the reasons I once had are gone
[04:04.05] I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
[04:10.14] In the sand beneath the dawn
[04:14.47] But the angels are older
[04:21.60] They can see that the sun's setting fast
[04:25.59] They look over my shoulder
[04:30.41] At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
[04:37.57] And they lay down behind me
[04:43.45] To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
[04:49.38] Where they know they will find me
[04:53.51] With my maps and my faith in the distance
[04:57.78] Moving farther on

In my early years I hid my tears
And passed my days alone
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
My dreams like nets were thrown
To catch the love that I'd heard of
In books and films and songs
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs
Still I look for the beauty in songs
To fill my head and lead me on
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
As many times as love has come and gone
To those gentle ones my memory runs
To the laughter we shared at the meals
I filled their kitchens and living rooms
With my schemes and my broken wheels
It was never clear how far or near
The gates to my citadel lay
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
But they listened to mine anyway
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
It could be I've lost my way
Though I keep a watch over the distance
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
