I actually like the rock version of this song from their album "Pet Your Friends" better: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Clxtg2pFTQM.html I remember back when this song was released, this one radio station I used to listen to (98.1 FM, KYKY St. Louis) would sometimes play this version instead of the album version. I was always disappointed when this version came on the radio instead of the album version.
Must have been late after noon I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out And he walked with a purpose in his sneakers down the street He had many questions like children often do He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God And tell me, am I very far?" Must have been late after noon On our way, the sun broke free of the clouds We count only blue cars skip the cracks in the street And ask many questions like children often do We said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her. And ask her why we're who we are." Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me, am I very far Am I very far now It's getting cold, picked up the pace How our shoes make hard noises in this place Our clothes are stained, we pass many cross eyed people And ask many questions like children often do We said, Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me am I very far Am I very far now? Tell me all your thoughts on God Tell me all your thoughts on God Source: LyricFind
Must've been mid afternoon I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and He walked with a purpose In his sneakers, down the street He had many questions Like children often do He said: Tell me all your thoughts on God Tell me am I very far Must've been late afternoon On our way the sun broke free of the clouds We count only blue cars Skip the cracks in the street And ask many questions Like children often do We said: Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me am I very far, Am I very far now? It's getting cold, picked up the pace! How our shoes make hard noises in this place! Our clothes are stained We pass many cross-eyed people And ask many questions Like children often do Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God 'Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me, am I very far? We're not very far now We're not very far now We're not very far now
