# THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STARS **JACK SAINT** [Verse 1] I watched the morning lose its color Against the glass beside my bed The world was turning without warning While I was counting words unsaid I kept a photograph of winter A road disappearing in the snow Some things we carry through the silence Are things we never learned to let go [Verse 2] I heard the rain against my window Like fingers tapping out a name I tried to find you in the distance But every road looked just the same And all the years we left behind us Still echo somewhere in these walls I wonder if you hear the silence Or if you hear me when it calls [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere beyond the fading light Two shadows reach across the night No promises that time can keep Just memories we carry deep [Chorus] There's a distance between the stars But they still shine upon the same dark sky And though I don't know where you are I know some things don't ever say goodbye If every road should fall apart If every light should disappear There's a distance between the stars But somehow I still feel you here [Verse 3] I used to think that every ending Was just a door we couldn't close But now I know some roads keep winding Beyond the places that we know And if the years should take our voices And leave our stories in the rain I'll find the meaning in the quiet And let the music speak again [Verse 4] I never asked the world for answers Or begged the night to bring you home I only hoped that somewhere out there You found a place to call your own And when the evening turns to silver And all the distant windows glow I hope you feel a little warmth there From someone you used to know [Chorus] There's a distance between the stars But they still shine upon the same dark sky And though I don't know where you are I know some things don't ever say goodbye If every road should fall apart If every light should disappear There's a distance between the stars But somehow I still feel you here [Bridge] I never needed you to stay I never wanted you to wait Some things are written in the silence Some things survive beyond their fate And if the darkness takes the morning And every familiar road is gone Somewhere beneath the same horizon A little piece of us lives on [Final Chorus] There's a distance between the stars But they still shine upon the same dark sky And though I don't know where you are I know some things don't ever say goodbye If every road should fall apart If every light should disappear There's a distance between the stars And somehow I still feel you here [Outro] And when the last light disappears I'll know that you were here
