A Distance There Is -Theatre Of Tragedy Come in out of the rain thou sayest but thou ne'er step'st aside And I am trapp'd I'm trapp'd A distance there is None save me and the bodkin pitter-patter on the roof Behold 'tis not the rain thence me it has to be My heart My heart My heart My heart My heart My heart And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be Thou tell'st me to leave without delay I leave I leave I leave I leave I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands Lo the shadows the sky descending So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk In my mind in which is this event But it seems as if naught is to change anyway After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world All the beautiful moments shared deliberately push'd aside A distance there is A distance there is
