Josh Ritter - Miles Away lyrics
[Josh Ritter - Miles Away lyrics]
It did not hold me in it's
Arms like it holds me now
So I dreamed myself a bird
Who could cross the waves
And I woke up just a man who was miles away
Miles away, miles away, miles away
Miles away
So I went to Cape Canaveral and
I went to the moon
And I stayed up there for a year or two
Famous picture of me above the blue parade
A man a million miles up, still miles away
Miles away, miles away, miles away
Miles away
So I went back to Kansas, it was summertime
Brought flowers to my family by the riverside
At the end of his life
They said my father had changed
I suppose we could have been friends
But, I was miles away
Miles away, miles away, miles away
Miles away
Honey, you don't belong in a place like this
With your long yellow hair and your hips
But the look in your eye is
Like the world from space
The way the sun hit's off
The water from miles away
Miles away, miles away, miles away
Miles away
Honey, can you leave your light on?
Honey, can you leave your light on?
Honey, can you leave your light on?
Honey, can you leave your light on?
I'm miles away, miles away
Miles away, miles away
