Outside in the Distance

New lyrics by Richard East.

Verse 1 I see a forest where there was a home before The flowers in the garden have crept in through the door Oh aye, the beauty that I could bring to you But outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through.

Verse 2 Here, beyond the weir, the water's turning black Broceliande stands spear in hand just to turn it back Oh how we keep your petty kingdoms well imbued But outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through.

Chorus And outside in the distance where your wardens won't go A child is standing vigil for a home he'll never know The bushes start a-rustling, so he paints his face with woe And whispers "This is the last of my show..."

Verse 3 A crossroads is no crossroads when there's but one route to take Your fantasy of peace will cease a pace beyond your gate I think these things as I walk down this tree-lined avenue And outside in the distance I hear something coming through Oh I said, outside in the distance there is something coming through.

Chorus
