Bernard Butler and Jessie Buckley - We've Run the Distance
Red, yellows and the bluesI wrote this song for you
I looked for the words just to numb the pain
While silent, you remain
In our rule, there's no room for a human touch
To take us away
Just a coal on a chair that's going nowhere
Sits there night and day
Sometimes when it rains
My heart can not explain why we are broken
If loneliness is part of our story from the start
We've run the distance (hey)
There's a man at the table with an oak on his back
No weight he can't bare
There's a woman with a story that nobody knows
'Cause no one ever cared
How can you live your life with the will to hide
The circumstance you fear
Am I supposed to be immune to the suffering I feel?
Sometimes when it rains
My heart can not explain why we are broken
If loneliness is part of our story from the start
We've run the distance (yeah)
Sometimes when it rains
My heart can not explain why we are broken
If loneliness is part of our story from the start
We've run the distance (hey)
Silent, you remain
Like a loneliest refrain
Not a whisper
Echoes of the heart have torn us apart
We've run the distance
Sometimes when it rains
My heart can not explain why we are broken
If loneliness is part of our story from the start
We've run the distance
