Looking out this window
The window to my heart
Watching all the fires glow
This world tears me apart
There are some things that will not change
The heat and the dust and the wind and the rain
And a screaming silence is all that remains in my heart
In my heart
You're so close yet so far away
Can't tell tomorrow from yesterday
But you're so close yet so far away
I can't wait till then anyway
Sometimes it's like a nightmare
Living on this land
People ask me what I see out here
They don't understand
When I see them burn those fields of cane
And get down on their knees and pray for rain
But an empty sky is all that remains in my heart
And it tears them apart
You're so close yet so far away
Can't tell tomorrow from yesterday
But you're so close yet so far away
I can't wait till then anyway
There's not one damn thing I can do about it no
Just kick my heels in the dust and shout it
There's a storm on the horizon
I feel it in the air
Heavy clouds and heavy heart
But I think we're nearly there
There are some things that will not change in my heart
In my heart
You're so close yet so far away
Can't tell tomorrow from yesterday
But you're so close yet so far away
I can't wait till then anyway
You're so close yet so far away
Can't tell tomorrow from yesterday
But you're so close yet so far away
I can't wait till then anyway
