At the Heart of Me - Chely Wright

I could fly away

Leave for good today

To a new world somewhere far beyond

Or you could set sail

For the sun’s fading trail

And I could watch you till you’re gone

But it wouldn’t matter now

No it couldn’t change what I see

If a thousand miles lay between us today

You’re still at the heart of me

If your face can’t be

Ever here before me

I can always hold you in my mind

And live in the past

Your ghost gave up at last

More real now than passing time

But it wouldn’t matter now

It couldn’t change what I see

If a thousand miles lay between us today

You’re still at the heart of me

Time’s been a shroud

And it’s left me confused

Surrendered to pain in the name of a truth

That sang in my ear all that I stood to lose

Come what may

Our faith is a well

And down deep I can tell

I’m as thirsty as a mortal can be

Silence abounds

And it’s ringing through town

Like a bell swinging high over me

And it wouldn’t matter now

No it couldn’t change what I see

If a thousand miles lay between us today

You’re still at the heart of me

If a thousand miles lay between us today

You’re still at the heart of me
