Ferret And Featherbird Lyrics - Van Der Graaf Generator

(Hammill) 

Time has come between us: 

in the passing months I've felt you slip away 

as your words and mine came like nursery rhymes 

till there was nothing left to say. 

Distance came between us long ago, 

as our memories faded away... 

over the miles I ceased to smile 

because nothing felt the same. 

That's how it seemed a week ago, 

far off in time and space.
