Lyrics:

Well you called me, telephone ringing in the night
And you asked me if I was alright, like an afterthought, an oversight
And I stood, so surprised, trying to hold on to my pride
So close, I could hear your low sigh
I said I was fine, You said you were fine

There's a loneliness, I don't lose sight of it
Like a high distant satellite, one side in shadow, one in light

But I didn't mind to be alone that night, in a city I'd never seen
All these skyscrapers pooling on a prairie
Built high and tall, as though they all compete just to reach the darkness up above that once here had been

Somewhere, if there's a beauty you had seen in me
That I wanted somehow to believe, drift of sentiment and memory
That I couldn't have, I could not keep, no
It never did belong to me, it was only ever another thing I would carry
Still it held me, loyalty, to a feeling, to some glimpse
Of a love that was only ever a kind of distance
That we could not cross
'Gather no moss.'
