Remember when the water froze and the sky was still
And you looked out of your window on the world
And then you went against your will
If you could see that far
See back from where you are
And then you held me in your arms
And you told me not to cry or be afraid
I felt protected by your calm
If you could see that far
See back from where you are
From the silence of my heart
There's a picture in my head
An image frozen of you travelling through time
From long ago to far ahead
If you could see that far
See back from where you are
If there's a sadness in your eyes
If there's a place that you would rather be alone
If you could see that far
See back from where you are
Oh, as a man you stand alone
All the contentment that you once felt as a child
Has long escaped you now you've grown
Believe it's strong enough
That every life could bring
