Watch out big ships are waiting, salt frozen on your cheek
I saw a girl and boy arriving and a steamer put out to sea

Tall trees stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

Sun sleeps on misty morning, light years from channel three
I feel halfway to zero, call me a hero, I might just agree

Tall trees stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

And the roses you grow have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart by the morning

I feel halfway to zero, call me a hero, I might just agree

Tall trees stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
Tall trees
Tall trees
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Tall trees
