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
