Further and Further Away

Cheryl Wheeler

I can see the place where I came from
I can hear those sounds right now
I can find the paths I used to run
And believe I still know how

Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
I keep those scenes at bay
And I can see the place where I came from
Slipping further and further away

And I can feel the way I used to feel
When the world was small and green
And you sang a song of soft appeal
And I curled into my dream

Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
I keep those scenes at bay
And I can feel the way I used to feel
Slipping further and further away

Time keeps moving faster and faster
I'm not losing track
I'm afraid that something's forgotten
So I keep looking back

I can hear the songs you used to sing
I can swear I won't let go
You were strong and you knew everything
That was all I had to know

Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
I keep those scenes at bay
And I can hear the songs you used to sing
Slipping further and further away
