Half A World Away

Half A World Away
(Secret Garden)

You're half a world away
Standing next to me
It seems that everyday
I'm losing you almost invisibly
Though you are near
I can't reach that far
Across to where you are
And so you stay
Just half a world away

And I would cross the universe for you
What good would it do if you weren't even there?
'Til you return, until your way is clear
I will be here, not half a world away

You're half a world away
And no one is to blame
If love outlives its day
And turns into an ember from a flame
I love you as before
'Til worlds will be no more
'Til I can find a way
To where you stay
Just half a world away

You're half a world away

Half a world away



Which one is sadder? A couple stays together, but they don't love each other any more, or two people truly love each other, but cannot stay together?

鱼的悲哀就在于
看到了大海,
却没有办法游过去
人的悲哀就在于
看到了结果
却没有办法说服自己
去面对。

-- The grief of a fish is that
the ocean is right in front of its eyes
but it cannot embrace it

The grief of a person is that
he already knows the ending
but he cannot persuade himself to face it.
