Verse 1
There is a distance between us

A gulf growing ever wide

The people we that we once were
Swept further with each tide
A long road made of small steps
Little affections we denied
Death by thousand cuts
Tears withheld when we cried

Chorus
If I controlled this universe
I would change the course of time
Turn a black hole inside out
Our orbits realign

Verse 2
There’s a silence between us

A void a voice cannot fill
Small talk and gossip plug the gap
We really have lost the will
Many bricks make a castle
But the sacred is hard to keep
When affection falls on stony ground
We sow what we reap

Verse 3
There’s a tension between us
So subtle others cannot tell
Somethings brewing in the cauldron
But the magic’s lost its spell
Many stars make the night sky
But the darkness makes us see
Their beauty that is lonely
And where they used to be

Harmonies
East to West, North to South        
I’d make up go down
In to out, right to left
Happy to play the clown
