Daily - The Innocence Mission

Shimmering distances

The daily swinging up

I’m listening to many birds

How will I ever

How will I ever get there?

How will I ever get there now?

It’s something hard to explain

And certainly I will not get it right

But I’m looking out for you now

And probably you are just on the way

And getting through the streets of town

Takes a long time

Street-wide and city-wide

Runs the longing for home

It is disguised as many things

Gulfs widen, and the great water

Comes into my room

How will I ever see you now?

How will I ever see you now?

It’s something hard to explain

And certainly I may not get it right

But I’m looking out for you now

And probably you are just on the way

And getting through the streets of town

Takes a long time
