The Distance


So far beyond any moment
and I always go there...

So many lonesome
feelings inside

Only the sounds follow
only the sounds listen

A golden sunrise
a gentle setting of the sun

And the distance is
so far away...

I try many times
over and over inside

At times I do not know if I
am even here

But I am...

So far beyond
so far away

The Piano?

Maybe it is what I have
not seen?

Music makes the distance
seem so very, very close

I close my eyes and there
so very dear

An orchestra of solitude
and how I love to listen

In the distance I see...
one single band...

Play It again....
piano man...
