I look down at the ground just below me
And slowly lift my head up to the sky
From here to there must be quite a distance
But it's not as far apart as you and I
I stand on the dock in San Francisco
And watch the ship as it puts out to sea
From here to there must be quite a distance
Oh, but it's not as far apart as you and me
From here to there I can almost touch you
But the wall between us, oh, it's much too high
An animal that's wounded sometimes is dangerous
But usually it just crawl off somewhere and die
I look down at the water just below me
But if I jump then no one would really care
Oh, and the walk I take from the golden gate will be a hundred years
'Cause it's a long long way from here to there
Yes, it's a long long way from here to there
