about

There's no way of knowing if we're coming or we're going, in the distance

lyrics

Long, slow distance
Between you and me
Something is growing between us
As far as I can see

But there’s no way of knowing
If we’re coming or we’re going
In the distance
No earthquakes or drama
No rifts in our karma from afar
There will be no explosions
No waves of emotion in the distance
And in the distance is where you are

We’ve assumed a safe distance
Gently day by day
Long, slow distance
We’re better off this way

There’s no way of knowing
If we’re coming or we’re going
In the distance
No sideways glances
No second chances, we’ll be free
Like a tree in the forest
You won’t hear when I am falling
In the distance
And in the distance is where I’ll be

Long distance, long distance
There’s no way of knowing
If we’re coming or we’re going
In the distance
And in the distance is where I’ll be

a large chunk of the album resonates with me, love for the hills, mountains, coastline and particularly the north of Britain. Delivered with a wonderful voice and wonderful accompanying music. We found Iona by mistake on a search, so glad we did! scotch_single_malt
