Distant Land

Never seen the promised land
But I promise this to you
Nothing's as it seems
No finish line or proof

Lost in the dark
Too young to know
Time takes it's toll
I wonder where you'll go

And I saw you standin' there
Cigarette in your hand
Waiting for someone
To take you back to what things were
Beautiful, like some distant land
Some distant land

Never been a gambling man
But I'll take a chance on you
Never heard a word you said
In the darkness after midnight's gone

Lost in the crowd
No more dancin' now
Time takes it's toll
I wonder where you'll go

And I saw you standin' there
Cigarette in your hand
Waiting for someone
To take you back to what things were
Beautiful, like some distant land
Some distant land
Some distant land
