Songtext Distant love Golden Earring

Distant love

It was a night like any other night
As it moved into a new day
Came up to a crossroad
Colors turnin' to grey
You had troubles way back home
So you had a good excuse
How could you resist this anyway
Her big brown eyes made you lose your mind
She knocked your defenses down
All you could do was look at her
While she watched you coming down

She said pedal to the metal
Just a 7 minute drive
Next thing you remember
Is a love sentence for life
Heaven came to earth, like and angel from above
You had to slip away from it
You had to run away from her
And you knew she wouldn't let you

Two hearts on fire
One dream tangled and wired
Two bodies swaying
Each one alone
To the beat of a distant love

Time can't heal the wounds of separation
The pain just grows in your imagination
A sudden glance, a message in your notebook wakes you up
But when you call she's always off the hook
So you get yourself a ticket and you don't wanna know why
You've found out you're an expert on makin' up lies
You once traded a dream for the life you're livin' in
But you can't run away from it
You better try to forget her and you know she won't let you

Two hearts on fire
One dream tangled and wired
Two bodies swaying
One dream never fading
Each one alone
To the beat of a distant love
