I'm a million ages past you
A million years behind you too
A thousand miles up in the air

A trillion times I've seen you there

Your hair is golden, mine is grey

You walk on grass, it turns to hay
You blood is blue and mine is red
My body strains, but the nerves are dead


I can't reach you
I've strained my eyes

I can't reach you
I've split my sides
I can't reach

Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you


The distances grow greater now
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head

You're still alive and I'm nearly dead

I can't reach you

With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck

I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you


Once I caught a glimpse
Of your unguarded, untouched heart

Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart


I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you

I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you

See, feel or hear from you

I can't reach you

With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck

I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
