Farther I go



I took a boat, I took a plane

Halfway around the world on a train

New York to Orleans, Japan to Tibet

But the farther I go, the closer you get

And I can't get you out of my mind

All these years to forget, all these miles in jet

But the farther I go, the closer you get.



I took some dreams, I can't damp some dust

I damned your name, I cried and I cursed

I run to the ends of the earth to forget

But the farther I go, the closer you get.



I found a friend, I took her home

I took her upstairs, disconnected the phone

We got warmer and warmer

Been blazing hot

But the farther we went, the closer you got

And I can even make love anymore.



All these years to forget
