Verso 1: If I should die without a Bible in my hand I pray my bones shall point across the sand To the shimmering distance The shimmering distant love Verso 2: 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 Ponte: Time goes by ain't that a surprise Time to live and time to die In the shimmering distance Verso 3: 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
