After You've Gone

You're just a mile away
One thousand five tiny steps from here
But if I brought you near
Would you believe when I say,
It seems like yesterday
That I could reach out
and touch your face,
But as I fall from grace
Into whose arms can I lay

It's always much too late
We get the signs
We can't comunicate
Or turn back time

So what will be now,
Do you feel somehow
Not so together
And not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely,
After you've gone

If it's a healing wind
That cools the flame
burning in my sight
It must accelerate
For 2 wrong they don't make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories
Wars fought in isolation,
With none to please

The future's still uncertain
The past is done
