Peter Hammill
Ferret & Featherbird
[Verse 1]
Time has come between us
In the passing months I've felt you slip away
As your words and mine came like nursery rhymes
Till there was nothing left to say

[Verse 2]
Distance came between us long ago
As our memories faded away...
Over the miles I ceased to smile
Because nothing felt the same

[Bridge]
That's how it seemed a week ago
Far off in time and space

[Verse 3]
Time and distance are only thoughts and words
Conspiring to break up our minds
They're quite unreal, tell me how do you feel?
Look inside your head and tell me what you find

[Verse 4]
Time and distance, yes, they're between us now
And they form a bond to make things sure
Nothing ever shatters, you know what happens
Time and distance make a love secure
[Outro]
Well, nothing ever shatters, you know what happens
Time and distance make a love secure
