CAPETOWN UNVISITED Across the foreign room, I sensed you there And when I saw your eyes I knew we’d share Apart of the way together, a little part of the way… Malicious gods placed us worlds apart But against good sense, I’ll follow my heart Keep going back and forth between your world and mine Search the sky for the vital sign The Stars were right when I met you Come join my life, ‘Cause I’ll let you I traveled miles just to get you To be together with you  - together We fight our battles Wage our separate wars Our lives run parallel  Sometimes they cross My soul fits yours, like glove Can we keep it alive this long distance love Can we keep it alive?
