Watched him walk away (watched him walk away) Climb the endless shadow side Watched him holding on (watched him holding on) (watched him walk away) It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes With no goodbye Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes) Hold on! As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain Let the mountain sleep In the past with all our bad dreams Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart? Was it mortality? Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life! Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave 'Goodbye'! Say a prayer for me (Hold on!) As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain Let the mountain fall Struck me down until I can't go on Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground Don't leave Go on alone It felt like a thousand years It was a thousand miles away It was a thousand miles away
