Album: And the Hits Just Keep on Comin'
I've forgotten how long I've been sitting here
Watching my reflection in a disappearing beer
The lonliness is so thick, you can slice it
Emptiness is too much for me to fight it
And while tomorrow must be met, it seems
That life's become a jewl that dimly gleams
From its perch atop a ring that's slightly out of brown
Casting the reflection of a crying clown
Oh, the closeness is gone
Still, the memory lives on
The distance now is growing as the highway sings
Changing the complexion and the scheme of things
And as the world begins to turn, I feel the time has come
To accept apparent loss is a battle won
And with that in mind, I close my eyes and kiss your cheek
Push the lonliness aside and stand on shaky feet
Then re-implant the smile that never really leaves
Gently place my heart back on my sleeve
Oh, the closeness is gone
Still, the memory lives on
[SOLO]
Distance now is growing as the highway sings
Changing the complexion and the scheme of things
And as the world begins to turn, I feel the time has come
To accept apparent loss is a battle won
And with that in mind, I close my eyes and kiss your cheek
Push the lonliness aside and stand on shaky feet
Then re-implant the smile that never really leaves
Gently place my heart back on my sleeve
Oh, the closeness is gone
Still, the memory lives on
