One Second and a Million Miles

For the first time in my life I am not outside the moment With a camera in between me and the world I think I know. For the first time in my life I am somehow part of something. You surround me, you connect me And I think I can't let go. For the first time in my life You have opened up a channel There is nothing to contain us We are joined, and we are free. For the first time in my life I am risking something precious. I am asking you, Francesca: Come with me. I can't tell you I know what the future will be. Who knows anything? I just look at those eyes; you've got so much to see. Let me show you there's Crowds and camels and hillsides to climb. All I know is, in all of the time From man's first breath To God's last warning You and I are just one second Spinning by in one split-second. You and I have just one second And a million miles to go. I don't need to be rich, I don't need something new. I don't want t go back to a world without this. All I need, all I've needed my whole life was you. If I left this behind... Robert Please just look at me: You were born with a wanderer's soul. This is how you begin to be whole. The stars keep burning Worlds keep turning And you and I are just one second Spinning by in just one second You and I have just one second And a million miles to go. Found and lost. Torn in half. Before and after you. Come with me. Open heart Open door. Before and after you. Come with me. How do I go? Tell me. How do I go? How do I go with you? How do I pack a bag Close a door Turn a key Walk away? Look at where I am And who I am And tell me. Is there something I don't know? How do I go? How can I go With you? I can't tell you I know what the answer will be. It's impossible. But this thing, this is bigger than what we can see. This is destiny. We are tied, we are locked, we are bound This will not be reversed or unwound. Whatever fate the stars are weaving We're not breaking I'm not leaving And you and I are just one second. Spinning by in just one second. You and I have just one second... And a million miles to go. All my life I have been falling... All my life I have been falling... All my life I have been falling into... All my life I have been falling... You and I Have just one second And a million miles to go. Come with me.
