You're just a mile away

One thousand five tiny steps from here

But if I brought you near

Would you believe when I say

It seems like yesterday

That I could reach out and touch your face

But as I fall from grace

Into whose arms can I lay

It's always much too late

We get the signs

We can't communicate

Or turn back time

(Chorus:)

So what will be now

Do you feel somehow

Not so together and not quite as strong

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely

After you've gone

I need a healing wind

To cool the flame burning in my sight

It must accelerate

For two wrongs they don't make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories

Wars fought in isolation, with none to please

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

The future's still uncertain

The past is done

(Chorus)

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely

After you've gone

Now I believe

Alone doesn't have to mean lonely

After you've gone
