I've come far to be here with you, farther than I thought I could,
I've more courage now than I have ever let on to you,
And it's in the way you're moving, as uneasy as your smile,
I can tell you're slowly dying - can we stop and talk awhile'
Oh.
Now, as far as I can remember, you've been running all your life,
And it seems you ran forever 'cause I was always left behind,
Now that I have caught up to you, there are things I have to say...
Like I'm happy to be near you, but I cannot stay.
My love's an ocean,
You are the moon,
The stars, our windows,
The sky is our room.
Yeah,
Ooh, ooh.
These are more than simple changes; they are painful and profound,
And you might consider pacing life below the speed of sound,
No, I can't take your wounds from you; things you've done, I cannot undo,
I can only hope to love you like the ocean loves the moon.
I am an ocean,
You are the moon,
Our life, the morning,
Our love is doomed.
