Like a man on a raft
Drifting on a windless sea
Stares ino the distance
For a ship to enter his vision
With that intensity of longing
Do I yearn to be with you
Like one lost in the desert
Pricks up his ears for a sound
Above the whistling through the dunes
To give him hope to be found
With that intensity of longing
Do I yearn to be with you
Every breath painfully drawn
Makes me feel the time I’ve lost
Then I convince myself that I’m
Actually a breath nearer to you
My yearning tears the firmament
With its shrieks through the ether
And rends asunder all obstacles
(Which are) keeping us apart
“How can you stop me?” it asks
Growing sharper and sharper
And the very throb it creates intensely
Clears my way to be with You
I yearn to be with You, I yearn
Steadfastly creating the route
From Here to There.
