wish the distance was not so vast wish i was a present in your past to be the arms when it is cold my shoulders for you to hold to keep you in my shadow against the burning sun your shade against the cold rain until she's done i mean not to take your father's place but for you to know that in my soul you have a solace to be as who you are, who you are to be forever loved, forever free free free but for now, i have to know you sleep in your mother's breast in time may we together see the sun rise east and witness it sink west
