Too Far Away - Gregory Alan Isakov

Hey, how have you been since you let in?

The clouds through your window as it rained

The last time we spoke

You were glued to that telescope

I heard you say it was too far away

Was it too far away?

Me, I’ve been fine

I work most of the time

Digging for secrets deep in the ground

A few days ago

They called for that big snow

Man, I thought that I would never get warm

Did you ever get warm?

All inside the rain

We carry what we’re able

Among the sewer rats and angels

And all of us in between

Before I go, I’ll leave you with this poem

About the galvanised moon and her rings in the rain
