| 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… |
