Some Distance from It All

It's cold out here at midnight
Some truths the day won't tell
Til the sunlight brings the kind of thing
That always does me well

The only child of a traveler
I'm only killing time
The path he kept has nothing left
I'll ever know as mine

And I heard the ghosts chased him down like dogs

I've spent my time nameless
Ageless and counting days
Born to lose where the clouds won't move
And the men avert their gaze

Sometimes I start aching
To give my feet a new place to fall
And for the man, I understand
Found some distance from it all

And I heard the ghosts chased him down like dogs
Like some mad God's creation, the epilogue

The story has no ending
The future's not yet told
The past, a man, whose weathered hand
I'll never have to hold

So here's to moving on
And here's to where I'll go
And here's to fear and wandering, dear
That I hope to never know

And I heard the ghosts chased him down like dogs
Like some mad God's creation, the epilogue
And I heard the ghosts chased him down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
Down like dogs
