Distance Across (studio demo)
Neil Finn

On the trampoline
You never leave the scene
Weightless for a moment, then you fall
The object of my dreams
Is further than it seems
But from afar I shall be held enthralled

If all I ever ask
Is faith enough to add
For the best intentions in the world

Ships on the horizon come closer to us
Will they come to rescue
Or will they get lost
Find out where we’re going
To navigate the distance across

Where my hell awaits
Is where my head awaits
Standing blindly at the Pearly gates
All the ones that leave
They seem to lack belief
… … and terrorise the weak

If all they ever ask
Is faith enough to go on
With the best intentions in the world

Ships on the horizon come closer to us
Will they come to rescue
Or will they get lost
Find out where we’re going
You’d navigate the distance across

placeholder bridge

All I want is yours
To rest my weary head
When all the sentences are done

Ships on the horizon come closer to us
Will we get our rescue
Or will we get lost
Find out where we’re going
The distance across
There’s no way of knowing
To navigate the distance across

This was a distant forerunner of the song, Say That Again.
