A CERTAIN DISTANCE

Words & Music – Dave Nachmanoff


And he finds himself behind the wheel,
Of an unfamiliar automobile
On a road that he has never seen,
Going to a town he’s never been to - again
And he wonders if he’s lost the thread
Of the dreams that ran inside his head
Like a shadow, or a silhouette,
Rushing off to see some friends he’s never met – before

CHORUS:

And the satellite is beaming down its signal, to your tiny town
But nothing’s getting through
He’s much too far from you – and you know it, whoa
There’s a certain distance

So she stays at home and she tends the fire
And she works until her eyes are tired
She feeds the dog and she pets the cat,
Every now and then she wonders
Where he’s at – right now


(CHORUS)

Maybe it’s all inside your head
But time and space are not the same
No matter what Uncle Albert said…

Now a cloud for him means rain for you,
With a ray of sunlight shining through
Every now and then and it’s not enough
And you wonder, is this really all that love – can be

FINAL CHORUS:

And there was a time you understood him, or at least you thought you could
But now you have your doubts, there’s words you can’t make out
From your poet
And the satellite is beaming down its signal, to your tiny town
But nothing’s getting through
He’s much too far from you – and you know it, whoa

Dave proudly endorses Access Bags and Cases and has toured with them for many years.
