The Distance Lyrics by Sleep For Sleepers

The Clearing

2009

[Verse 1]
For you are the sight of my eyes
For you breathe between every line (Is this love?)
The love it takes to give your heart away
What defines my heart is what's best for you
Where tired eyes are willing to prove
That I'll be here forever
[Chorus]
At your bedside
Never leave my sight
If there's distance, there's persistence too
[Verse 2]
When our love is opening their eyes for the first time
They'll have your eyes like you've had mine, woah
If my words can't define the lights that compete
With the voice of my heart when you're gone
Then I'm far away
[Chorus]
At your bedside
Never leave my sight
If there's distance, there's persistence too
[Outro]
I will stay until the sun, until the sun arrives
Even then I'll be by your side
