Mazzy Star - It Speaks the Distance - Live 2000, pt.14 (of 14), rare(unreleased)song +lyrics

This recording's from Copenhagen, June 4, 2000. Mazzy Star did a European tour that year & introduced a number of new songs, including "It Speaks the Distance", that have never yet appeared on any official Mazzy Star release.

There's a curious, mysterious line in the lyrics
(see below). That line is: "Among my swan" ...Was this a song slated for the '96 album "Among My Swan", but ended up as an out take, I wonder? Maybe only David & Hope know for sure!
According to a track listing I saw of a '94 Mazzy concert, Seattle, May 4, '94, they performed "It Speaks the Distance"
live back then, but have never released it.

When I recently obtained this 2000 show I was pleasantly surprised & amazed to find it boasts such an embarrassment of riches of unreleased Mazzy songs, seven altogether, all of which I've uploaded to YT.

I've also just acquired four more unreleased Mazzy songs from a 1990 NYC show. All 4 of those have been uploaded to YT too.

IT SPEAKS THE DISTANCE (lyrics)
Behind my life
Is different colors
They go away
And come back to you
It's just no way
It can be found
It's just a thing
Come on take it
The touch of your hand
It speaks the distance
It speaks the distance
In your heart
Come on, there's no question of why
Come on, there's no question of where
Behind my life
There's a silent storm
It brings a vision
Into your mind
It's in between
The colors that fade away
My heart screams
For nothing you have to say
Come on, there's no question of why
Come on, there's no question
It's in between
On a darkened path
Behind the unknown
But there's no chance
Behind his hand
Among my swan
Keep it there
Never to go
And so often
My eyes fade
And so often
My eyes fade
The touch of your hand
It speaks the distance
It speaks the distance
In your heart
Behind my life
I know
