Across the Distance

**Title: Forgive Me Darling (For Leaving You Without Knowing)**

**[Intro – Soft female vocal / airy pads]**

Ohhh... ohhh...

In the silence of the night...

I still hear your heartbeat...

Calling me...

**[Verse 1 – Male]**

I walked away through fading light,

Never saw the tears behind your eyes,

Thought the road was pulling me away,

Never knew I’d lose my sky.

**[Verse 1 Response – Female]**

I stood alone beneath the rain,

Holding words I could not say,

Every shadow carried your name,

Waiting for you every day.

**[Pre-Chorus – Together]**

Time keeps falling...

Like stars from the sky...

Broken pieces...

Still learning to fly...

**[Chorus – Duet trance chant]**

**Male:** Forgive me darling...

**Female:** Why did you go...?

**Male:** I left without knowing...

**Female:** Left me alone...

**Together:**

Forgive me darling...

I hear your soul tonight...

Across the distance calling...

Bring us back to the light...

Ohhh-ohhh...

Ohhh-ohhh...

Forgive me darling...

**[Breakdown – Whispered duet]**

**Female:** Can you hear me in the wind?

**Male:** Can you feel me once again?

**Female:** I never stopped believing...

**Male:** I never stopped loving...

**[Big Trance Drop Chant]**

Forgive me... forgive me...

Darling don't let go...

Forgive me... forgive me...

Bring me back home...

**[Outro – Together]**

If tomorrow gives us one more chance...

I’ll never leave your hand again...

Ohhh... forgive me darling...
