Brett Dennen So Far From Me Lyrics

crows ravaging a field of wheat
stars jealous of the moon
scarecrows know their own defeat
envy and the heart that it consumes

today i walked without you
like an empty bottle drifting out to sea
i would change it if i knew how to
but it don't come that easily

if my heart wasn't such a jungle
maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone
and if your heart wasn't such an ocean
i wouldn't sink like a stone

if you weren't so far from me
i could you hold you while you're sleepin
and hear ya breathin softly
and be there when you wake
phone calls cannot complete us letters cannot replace
the miles and miles and miles between us
another time another place

if my heart wasn't such a jungle
maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone
and if your heart wasn't such an ocean
i wouldn't sink like a stone

i have yet to meet another
who burns bright as you
i'm not looking for any other
i only want you.

if my heart wasn't such a jungle
maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone
and if your heart wasn't such an ocean
i wouldn't sink like a stone
i wouldn't sink like a stone
i wouldn't sink like a stone.
