I look down at the ground just below me And slowly lift my head up to the sky From here to there must be quite a distance But it's not as far apart as you and I I stand on the dock in San Francisco And watch the ship as it puts out to sea From here to there must be quite a distance Oh but it's not as far apart as you and me From here to there I can almost touch you But the wall between us oh it's much too high An animal that's wounded sometimes is dangerous But usually it just crawl off somewhere and die I look down at the water just below me But if I jump then no one would really care Oh and the walk I take from the Golden Gate Will be a hundred years Cause it's a long long way from here to there Yes it's a long long way from here to there
