Further Away

Further Away


I broke into laughter,
I found myself smile,
Spent the last two hours,
Not thinking of you,
I didn’t plan to.

Sometimes I look forward,
Excited sometimes.
Times’ still moving for me,
Are you angry? forgive me.

Father, further away.

Please don’t think I’ve moved on,
I’ve just changed direction, that’s all.
Is that all right with you?
I’ll breathe without you,
What else can I do?

Father, further away.

Someone stop the clocks,
Someone block the sun,
Someone stop the tide,
And abolish fun.
How dare the rivers flow
and who told the stars to glow
I swear I don't know

Father, further away

Another one of my current favs, can't get it out of my head.

"Someone stop the clocks,
Someone block the sun,
Someone stop the tide,
And abolish fun.
How dare the rivers flow
and who told the stars to glow
I swear I don't know"

... that's so very poetic and yet it matches the more 'real' parts of the song perfectly.

Knowing that all his songs are autobiographical, I'm pretty sure this one belongs to the "Some situations require more than one song to figure out and to move on from" category... where there is wounding there should be healing....
