So I set off on a long journey
Far from the mistakes and the errors I've made
I visited places so I wouldn't have to see you again
And the farther I got, the better I felt
It was snowing a lot but I kept walking
Sometimes I lit a fire, in the cold I'd think of you
Day-dreaming on the deck of a ferry
I thought I saw your reflection in the sea
The lights inside the harbor looked distant
And I felt happy to dock
And my face changed, my beard grew
I spent whole days without saying a word
And how I wished in that moment you were there
Because I really care about you
And there's no place where you don't come back to mind
And I would've really liked to have you
And not hear people say there's nothing I can do
I would've found many more answers
If I'd asked you, but never mind
I can't do it now that you're so far away
I'd feel like telling you that travel changes a man
And the starting point now seems so far
The destination isn't a place but what we feel
And we don't know where or when we'll get there
I spent whole days without saying a word
I thought you were truly far
If only we knew before we leave
That the meaning of the journey is the goal and the call
Because I really care about you
And there's no place where you don't come back to mind
And I would've really liked to have you
And not hear people say there's nothing I can do
I would've found many more answers
If I'd asked you, but never mind
I can't do it now that you're so far away
