Paroles de Distant

The morning sun was a wonder Our soaking shoes were an afterthought As we burst into the open And the past was a subsiding consciousness And everything seemed provincial Vagabonds on the road to their own way And you searched for the moment Anxiously contained The embers slowly were waning They were losing their battle with the night I could see you were crying I could see you had everything to hide You were ruthless and blushing As you said everything you needed to say I don’t hold it against you I’m not holding anything at all There’s nothing left to say There’s nothing left to say The ragged road was unending Empty miles saying all that we could not And the silence unbroken Captivated by scattered, distant thoughts And it came with a vengeance A flicker of hope As you turned my way There was more I could offer There’s nothing left to say There’s nothing left to say
