GRAHAM PERRY
Since the late 1980s, singer/songwriter Graham Perry has been actively hammering away at the seemingly impenetrable doors of the commercial musi
A chasm deep runs to the sea.
No bridge between, just you and me.
We stand divided by the rift.
The river runs so swiftly there,
No place to cross, yet still we stare.
Into each others eyes we drift.
(Bridge)
We stand so helpless wondering “if “
As if we found and lost our innocence.
We must admit our souls are old and
Quite immune to our predicament.
(Chorus)
Oh, Amelia.
If I could bridge the great divide
So wide that
Lies between us,
I might be satisfied.
Oh Amelia.
If I could reach the other side,
But time, it
Separates us,
but the leap is worth a try.
We long to be together still.
Regardless of the costs, we kill
The time just waiting for a seam.
And certain feelings from within
Come alive now and again.
My love confined behind the stream.
(Bridge)
Our wills fall short because we’re anchored well
To lives in which we hide.
I feel the need to break these chains and try
To reach the other side.
