so far away and so near on this night the pale moon flies through the endless starry skies so hold me close feel the rhythm of my heart , echoing far take my hand lead me where to souls could soar oh , so far away and so near i have seen your eyes before in another life i lived in innocence i imagined you could fly close to the stars here i am waiting for the moon to rise oh , so far away and so near i have felt eternity in another life i lived on feathered wings chase my spirit far and wide , ageless and free take me there always towards that place of peace oh , so far away and so near as the last notes of her song faded , the neurologists rushed over to their instruments and began feverishly studying the displays .
