After youve gone

Youre just a mile away
One thousand five tiny steps from here
But if I brought you near
Would you believe when I say,
It seems like yesterday
That I could reach out and touch your face,
But as I fall from grace
Into whose arms can I lay

Its always much too late
We get the signs
We cant communicate
Or turn back time

So what will be now, do you feel somehow
Not so together and not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesnt have to mean lonely, after youve gone

If its a healing wind
That cools the flame burning in my sight
It must accelerate
For two wrongs they dont make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories
Wars fought in isolation, with none to please

The futures still uncertain, the past is done
