There's a space between each atom

A gap that nothing can ever repair

Stars carefully keep their distance

Clouds stand proud up in the air

 

There was no distance for us

Till ambition swelled so high

Our bodies knew no aloofness

Entwined across endless sky

 

Grand notions tugged you free

I could not offer you enough

You wanted life-style and fame

Glory and all that other stuff

 

There was no distance for us

Till ambition swelled so high

Our bodies knew no aloofness

Entwined across endless sky

 

I'm alone now, lost in space

There's nothing left to cling to

I rub shoulders with nobody

My voice has no-one to sing to

 

There was no distance for us

Till ambition swelled so high

Our bodies knew no aloofness

Entwined across endless sky

 

Yet remoteness has its attractions

Now that you are lost to my view

I'm giving them all a wide berth

Until I collide with someone new
