Middle Distance

Words and music: Alvah Allen  Performed by: Alvah Allen and Chris Wilson 

 

Lyrics:

All the stream that pulls me in is there and gone again
All the plans to make you mine, the unrest all down the line
Least I’m consistent
Is there something out there in the middle distance
Least I’m consistent, hey, hey, yeah
Is there something out there in the middle distance
Is there something out there in the middle distance
Is there something out there in the middle distance

All the things you wish you knew, back when I first declared for you
Showed a man down design when it happens all the time
Don’t they reward persistence, somewhere out there in the middle distance
My love’s persistent. Yeah
Is there something out there in the middle distance
Is there something out there in the middle distance

And there’s pieces of my spell lyin’ all around your feet
And you’re liable to tell your ma and everyone you meet
That you’re free
She say, say, say, say, say, say, say ain’t no resistin’
There’s something out there in the middle distance
Is there something out there in the middle distance
Is there something out there in the middle distance

And there’s pieces of my spell lyin’ all around your feet
And you’re liable to tell your ma and everyone you meet
That you’re free
