Lyrics
So Near So Far
in a white van a man watches closely how the lines seem to twist and turn
on the outside the world whistles by at a pace that would smoke and burn
rubber and wheel joining the steel any moment it could break free
lifeblood pumping through the heart and the brain and the eyes that see
the road, the road lingers on, on and on forever ahead
why is it he tries to believe that the quicker he gets there the better
so here we go, on the road
here we are, so near so far
there we go, on the road
there we are, so near so far
why is it I try and I try to get this image out of my head
could it be this destiny has a hand in it 'til we're dead
in a black car a star travels on to the limelight in the sky
and the crowd roars as the car passes by, they never really know just why
the road, the road lingers on, on and on forever ahead
why is it we try to believe that the quicker we get there the better
so here we go, on the road
here we are, so near so far
there we go, on the road
there we are, so near so far
you and me should try to believe try to learn to try to be more farsighted and more free
you and me should try to believe, try to learn to try to be so much better than we are, so much better than we are
