Daily lyrics
by 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
