If I should die without a Bible in my hand I know my bones shall point across the sand To the shimmering distance The shimmering distant love If I should live without a feeling in my heart To bad. It's never been there from the start But in the shimmering distance There's a shimmering distant love Time goes by ain't that a surprise Time to live and time to die In the shimmering distance First you get old and then you start to disappear You look faint, you're so difficult to hear But in the shimmering distance There's a shimmering distant love In the shimmering distance There's a shimmering distant love
