Five Feet Away - Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Just five feet away, yes I was I'm not lying, I'm just crying out your name Just five feet away, yes I was I'm not lying, I'm just crying out your name I just do not understand you No I do not understand No I do not understand you I just do not understand Just five feet away I could tell you That I've been telling the same old lies (lines?) Just five feet away I could send you But I can't send you - these are trying times Trying times - yeah I tell you they are trying times Just five feet away my hands turn blue I can't tell if its really you Just five feet away my hands go numb Just to tell you how the time has come The time will ruin me The time will ruin me oh....
