Lyrics
Lost again in the light of your shadow
stood at the window facing a star
behave yourself--you've got no reason
who you've been is not who you are
Beat of the one to the end of the song
forever is nowhere and not very long
You can see to the other side
Forever is nowhere and not very wide
Every mountain is a whole lot to climb
take the front porch, take a step at a time
Every ocean is a long way to swim
don't have to cross but you gotta jump in
beat of the one to the end of the song
forever is nowhere and not very long
you can see to the other side
forever is nowhere and not very wide
what are you waitin' for--some kind of sign
Take what you got--put yourself on the line
trust your hunch, you could do fine
It's all that you got ten times out of nine
Beat of the one to the end of the song
forever is nowhere and not very long
you can see to the other side
forever is nowhere and not very wide
forever is nowhere--it's nowhere at all
time runnin' out--your back's to the wall
stood in the shadow facing a star
for this one moment yu know who you are
beat of the one to the end of the song
forever is nowhere and not very long
You can see to the other side
Forever is nowhere and not very wide
