An inch too close
An inch too far
An inch to show
Where we are
A hairs breath to you
A mile to me
A smile to you
A isle to me
Aye my beautiful lass
What i see is beyond the truth
The lie of an inch
Never quite shows itself to you
But the burden is mine to bear
And all I can do is just stare
Across this barrier miles to distant
So close but so persistent
Now i return to these tasks mundane
Driving me slowly insane
The times that where I survive
Taxing my heart and my brain

An inch too close
An inch too far

Never quite shows itself to you
But the burden is mine to bear
And all I can do is just stare
Across this barrier miles to distant
So close but so persistent
Now i return to these tasks mundane
Driving me slowly insane
The times that where I survive
Taxing my heart and my brain
