A Distance There Is

A Distance There Is - Theatre Of Tragedy

Come in out of the rain thou sayest but thou ne'er step'st aside

And I am trapp'd I'm trapp'd

A distance there is

None save me and the bodkin pitter-patter on the roof

Behold 'tis not the rain thence me it has to be

My heart My heart My heart

My heart My heart My heart

And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be

Thou tell'st me to leave without delay

I leave

I leave

I leave

I leave

I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands

Lo the shadows the sky descending

So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk

In my mind in which is this event

But it seems as if naught is to change anyway

After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths

The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me

Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world

All the beautiful moments shared deliberately push'd aside

A distance there is

A distance there is
