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
