farther i go

i took a boat

i took a plane

halfway around the world on a train

new york to orleans

japan to tibet

but the farther i go

the closer you get

and i can't get you out of my mind

all these years to forget

all these miles in jet

but the farther i go

the closer you get. i took some dreams

i can't damp some dust

i damned your name

i cried and i cursed

i run to the ends of the earth to forget

but the farther i go

the closer you get. i found a friend

i took her home

i took her upstairs

disconnected the phone

we got warmer and warmer

been blazing hot

but the farther we went

the closer you got

and i can even make love anymore. all these years to forget.
