Lyrics
[Verse]
Two names etched in the dust of a red earth road
Makoni carries the weight of a heavy silver load
While Ling Zambara tracks the wind across the plain
Waiting for the sky to break its vow against the rain
They met where the wire fence meets the open wild
One a weary traveler and one a restless child
Trading stories for a match and a bit of dry wood
Doing the best they can where no one is understood
[Chorus]
Oh the distance is a shadow that stretches out so far
From the granite hills up to the coldest pulsing star
Makoni and Ling Zambara walking side by side
With nothing but their ghosts and a place they used to hide
The highway is a fever and the truth is hard to find
Leaving all the hollow promises of home behind
[Verse]
Ling Zambara speaks of rivers that have long run dry
Of a fever in the valley and a low and jagged sky
Makoni keeps his secrets locked beneath a faded coat
Writing down the lessons that the ancient prophets wrote
They don’t need a compass and they don’t need a map
To fall into the jaws of the same old lonesome trap
Just a pair of drifters with their boots worn thin
Looking for a doorway where the light might enter in
[Chorus]
Oh the distance is a shadow that stretches out so far
From the granite hills up to the coldest pulsing star
Makoni and Ling Zambara walking side by side
With nothing but their ghosts and a place they used to hide
The highway is a fever and the truth is hard to find
Leaving all the hollow promises of home behind
[Chorus]
Oh the distance is a shadow that stretches out so far
From the granite hills up to the coldest pulsing star
Makoni and Ling Zambara walking side by side
With nothing but their ghosts and a place they used to hide
The highway is a fever and the truth is hard to find
Leaving all the hollow promises of home behind
