Watched him walk away (watched him walk away) 

Climb the endless shadow side 

Watched him holding on 

(watched him holding on) (watched him walk away) 



It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes 

With no goodbye 

Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes) 

Hold on! 

As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain 



Let the mountain sleep 

In the past with all our bad dreams 



Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart? 

Was it mortality? 



Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life! 

Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart 

With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave 'Goodbye'! 



Say a prayer for me (Hold on!) 

As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain 

Let the mountain fall 

Struck me down until I can't go on 



Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground 



Don't leave 

Go on alone 



It felt like a thousand years 

It was a thousand miles away 

It was a thousand miles away
