《Farther On》歌词

[00:00:00] In my early years I hid my tears

[00:00:06] And passed my days alone

[00:00:11] Adrift on an ocean of loneliness

[00:00:16] My dreams like nets were thrown

[00:00:21] To catch the love that I'd heard of

[00:00:26] In books and films and songs

[00:00:32] There's a world of illusion and fantasy

[00:00:37] In the place where the real world belongs

[00:00:42] Now I look for the beauty in songs

[00:00:47] To fill my head and lead me on

[00:00:52] Though my dreams

[00:00:54] Have come up torn and empty

[00:00:57] As many times as love has come and gone

[00:01:02] To those gentle ones my memory runs

[00:01:08] To the laughter we shared at the meals

[00:01:14] I filled their kitchens and living rooms

[00:01:18] With my dreams and my broken wheels

[00:01:23] It was never clear how far or near

[00:01:29] The gates to my citadel lay

[00:01:34] They were cutting

[00:01:35] From stone some dreams of their own

[00:01:39] But they listened to mine anyway

[00:01:44] I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

[00:01:50] It could be I've lost my way

[00:01:55] Though I keep a watch over the distance

[00:02:00] Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

[00:02:04] And the angels are older

[00:02:11] They know not to wait up for the sun

[00:02:14] They look over my shoulder

[00:02:19] At the maps and the drawings

[00:02:21] Of the journey I've begun

[00:02:29] Now the distance leads me farther on

[00:02:34] Though the reasons I once had are gone

[00:02:39] I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for

[00:02:45] In the sand beneath the dawn

[00:02:49] And the angels are older

[00:02:55] They can see that the sun's setting fast

[00:02:59] They look over my shoulder

[00:03:03] At the vision of paradise

[00:03:06] Contained in the light of the past

[00:03:09] And they lay down behind me

[00:03:15] To sleep beside the road

[00:03:17] Till the morning has come

[00:03:20] Where they know they will find me

[00:03:24] With my maps and my faith in the distance

[00:03:28] Moving farther on

[00:03:33] Farther On - Denison Witmer
