I look down at the ground just below me and slowly lift my head up to the sky

From here to there must be quite a distance but it's not as far apart as you and I

I stand on the dock in San Francisco and watch the ship as it puts out to sea

From here to there must be quite a distance

Oh but it's not as far apart as you and me

From here to there I can almost touch you

But the wall between us oh it's much too high

An animal that's wounded sometimes is dangerous

But usually it just crawl off somewhere and die

I look down at the water just below me but if I jump then no one would really care

Oh and the walk I take from the Golden Gate will be a hundred years

Cause it's a long long way from here to there

Yes it's a long long way from here to there
