The Space Between Us

This is a low-key return to the Cloud. The most traumatic experience I've had to endure is the separation from my family. Despite the pain and hurt, I have tried to bear it with dignity, respect and good grace. I wrote many songs about it - two are still on my cloud: 'If Love...', and 'Open Heart'. 'The Space Between Us' is another attempt to come to terms with the situation. The Space Between Us (Brian Peters) You walked away You didn't look back You didn't turn into a pillar of salt I was still waiting For the attack And I was looking for a glimmer of fault There were no answers Just questions unasked No rhyme or reason To peg to my mast You took it all Stirring no dust And in the quiet hush You left the space between us But I wish you well Whatever you choose I don't rejoice in wishes denied The thing you love most Must surely be loosed And I can carry every secret inside There is no malice Now we're apart I'm only sorry That it didn't last We had our moments And though they are passed I'm still holding fast To the space between us And God is in heaven Among the stars They circle round us Like giant cars But He keeps His eye Directing their paths And I pray God will watch In the space between us
