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
