How have you been in the shape you were in   I'm surprised that you got where you're going   And who would believe what a date you would be   If I knew I'd have thought about knowing      And in between now and the last time we met   I'd open the door if I met you again   And I swear that we'd be better fair ever friends   From here until 10 miles from nowhere      What is that there in your brown paper box   I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost   And I'd sworn it was you who was destined and gone   To the pressure of past undertakings      And had I had known that it might have been me   I might have returned a letter or three   Or gave you a call from the sanctuary   For the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee, oh yeah      And had I had known that it might have been me   I might have returned a letter or three yeah   Or gave you a call from the sanctuary   From here until 10   From now until 10 miles from nowhere
