You're just a mile away
  One thousand five tiny steps from here
  But if I brought you near
  Would you believe when I say
  It seems like yesterday
  That I could reach out and touch your face
  But as I fall from grace
  Into whose arms can I lay
    It's always much too late
  We get the signs
  We can't communicate
  Or turn back time
    [Chorus:]
  So what will be now
  Do you feel somehow
  Not so together and not quite as strong
  Now I believe
  Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
  After you've gone
    I need a healing wind
  To cool the flame burning in my sight
  It must accelerate
  For two wrongs they don't make a right
    And all these solitaires, lone victories
  Wars fought in isolation, with none to please
    [Chorus]
    [Instrumental break]
    The future's still uncertain
  The past is done
    [Chorus]
    Now I believe
  Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
  After you've gone
    Now I believe
  Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
  After you've gone
