Far Away

Needles in the black forest are falling
Like a cloak of evergreen
Softening the footsteps of the memories
Of our children never seen

Carrying our baggage on a train
Which moves along the shore
Crossing on a pathway where in dreams
We've met each other from before

Far away, we will fly
Buckled in this cradle
We'll be rocking ever gentle in the wind

Spine-backed rivers rush, never still
Full and rising to the sky
Where pounded gravel, caught in pools
Fine as sandstone travels to the sea

Sea birds peck at bubbles on a wet and
Foaming tide below the wind
And banks of dandelions, thistle canyons
Sweep their edges till they're gone

Far away, we will fly
Buckled in this cradle
We'll be rocking ever gentle in the wind

I love you even though some of your flaws
Make me mad from time to time
I've decided that the perfect mate we search for
Isn't there and can't be found

So I know that I must love you and accept you
With your faults and you with mine
If I can just see through your smokescreen
And you let me get to know you over time

Far away, we will fly
Buckled in this cradle
We'll be rocking ever gentle in the wind
