If I should die without a Bible in my hand
I know my bones shall point across the sand
To the shimmering distance
The shimmering distant love

If I should live without a feeling in my heart
Too bad. It's never been there from the start
But in the shimmering distance
There's a shimmering distant love

Time goes by ain't that a surprise
Time to live and time to die
In the shimmering distance

First you get old and then you start to disappear
You look faint, you're so difficult to hear
But in the shimmering distance
There's a shimmering distant love

In the shimmering distance
There's a shimmering distant love
