there may be a golden distance

from summer after god by Jeff Gladstone

about

i wrote this song over a few weeks, as i was preparing to leave vancouver in 2003.

for courtenay

lyrics

maybe in this world or the next one
we ll walk again as lovers hand in hand
there may be a golden distance in our sights
or is it all behind us holdin on

lettin go of a need so strong rips you open
naked to the world a vulnerable sigh
the dishes have moved out they sit in boxes
made of cardboard wet with rain

whichever way our future lay
the only thing to say
is goodbye

time the insatiable destroyer
pulls us apart like skin from a deer
now our time together is preserved like jelly
pouring out onto now sweetening our lives

this is my last day in this city
i call you up you ask me over

you say keep in touch
then its don t lose touch
but it don t take much from you to lead me on

now my cards are tossed into the air
i lost my flush my full house and my pair
one more draw from our past on the table
i m feelin lucky so i hold em
i m feelin lucky so i hold em

mmm

maybe when the rain turns to snow
maybe in that day
my mind will be quiet
