[verse]
How do you do what you do to me,
When you’re so far away?
I can feel your hands all over me,
But I can’t even touch your face.
I’ve got memories and a photograph.
Your words on a five inch screen.
I can still smell the Opium
Only you know what that means.
[chorus]
You’re my long distance lover.
My alternate reality.
You’re on my mind all night and day.
You’re thoughts keep haunting me.
I’ll be your long distance lover.
From beginning to the end.
And I’ll be waiting patiently
Until you’re in my arms again.
Long distance lovers.
[verse]
It’s been a thousand years since I’ve seen your face.
I would wait ten thousand more.
There are things that time just can’t erase.
And there’s one thing I’m waiting for.
The sun will rise and the sun will set
From now til eternity.
And when this all has passed away,
There will still be you and me.
[chorus]
I’ll be your long distance lover.
You’re alternate reality.
I’ll whisper love into your heart.
I’ll be there in your dreams.
You’re my long distance lover.
From beginning to the end
And I’ll be waiting patiently
Until you’re in my arms again.
Long distance lovers.
[final chorus]
You’re my long distance lover.
My alternate reality.
You’re on my mind all night and day.
You’re thoughts keep haunting me.
I’ll be your long distance lover.
From beginning to the end.
And I’ll be waiting patiently
Until you’re in my arms again.
Long distance lovers.
