Joe Jung: Music

The People I Know

I've seen my life from a distance
When I was young and my hair was long
From quiet and full to loud and hungry
Inside the storm, outside the calm

I know my friends from a distance
When cups were full and nights were drowned
I've seen them fall and rise above me
I've seen them lose and give their all

My family lives from a distance
I love them more than I can tell
Across the shore and across the wire
I miss them more with eveyr mile

I've held my love from a distance
For four long years of winter tones
But now it's time to close the distance
And now it's time to build a home
