Look How Far

Lyrics

On this rooftop where we're sitting
 In the rays of the setting sun
 Glasses of wine on a crate between us
 Catch the light -- seem to glow from within
 And there's a laugh
 Hanging in the air
 And there's no
 Desperation anywhere
 So many miles, so many doors
 Some need patience, some need force
 All fall open in their own due course
 To allow us this time
 And your limned
 In light, golden and thin
 Looks to me
 Like you're lit up from within
 And look how far the light came
 Look how far the light came
 Look how far the light came
 To paint you
 This way
 And I picture us in this light
 Friendship a fine silver web
 Stretched across golden smoky haze
 And this is simple
 And this is grace
 And this light
 Is a guest from far away
 Passing through
 The last whisper of day
 And look how far the light came
 Look how far the light came
 Look how far the light came
 To paint you
 This way
