In her autobiography, Lords described “Distant Land” as “a sad tale of a woman waking up lost and not knowing where she is, searching for light in a distant land”.
[Verse 1]
I wake up
And I don't know where I am
No time left to waste
There's little light in a distant land
Try to fathom
But I don't know what I feel
Searching my face
Ask myself is this for real
[Chorus]
I want to float away
Sail around the world
Find a place with sacred towers
High as the sky
High as the sky
[Verse 2]
Lovers dance
Voices melting in the sand
Another chance
Granted by a strange old man
[Chorus]
I want to float away
Sail around the world
Find a place with sacred towers
High as the sky
High as the sky
