You’re only as far as my god
And he is very near
When the jasmine blooms
You draw closer
Every cloud which gathers and grows dark
Brings you nearer
Every dog’s bark
Every key struck on the piano
I won’t deny the ache
I’ll swim in it
When the sun sends apricots to my horizon
I’ll willingly bid it farewell
Knowing it goes to shine on you
To warm your bones
As it just warmed mine
And he is very near
When the jasmine blooms
You draw closer
Every cloud which gathers and grows dark
Brings you nearer
Every dog’s bark
Every key struck on the piano
I won’t deny the ache
I’ll swim in it
When the sun sends apricots to my horizon
I’ll willingly bid it farewell
Knowing it goes to shine on you
To warm your bones
As it just warmed mine
