Crossing the Distance (words + music - Jon Brindley)

A never before seen sunset pours true gold upon a million waves

Wakening wind unbound by laws, it's a human soul that this beauty saves

And to me comes an image of your face showing the love burning in your heart

It could happen any time and place as with a masterful art

You can keep a memory for ever and a day

But you can't keep hold of somebody’s soul, it'll only slip away

Well there's a postcard waiting on your floor and the message on it says

I'm crossing the distance that I have to cross

There are things that I'm leaving behind but there's nothing that I've lost

I'm just crossing the distance

I'm seeing reflections that make everything real

All my worries turn into a smile in a light that heals

It's funny the things we hold behind where we keep them in

And a love for a person never dies, where do we begin?

'Cause it's sometimes hard to understand why people do the things they do

And I cried over the things you did but not like I cried for you

Now I can see the colour of my dreams and a deep ocean blue

I'm crossing the distance that I have to cross

There are things that I'm leaving behind but there's nothing that I've lost

I'm just crossing the distance

Crossing the distance

I'm crossing the distance
