Another Day Away

I'm on my way to somewhere
I've never been somewhere these eyes
have never seen another winding road
destination unknown
no address
no post code
another day
a little further away
these broken lines will lead me home
but not tonight
another voice at the end of this long distance phone line
a day
a lifetime
however long it takes
for ever is not far enough away

[chorus]
bright lights shine
in virgin eyes
tail lights red
they fade away
this dashboard glow
we'll drive all night
[counter chorus]
another day away
eight days from home
there's so far
so far to go
eight days from home

we'll drive all night
until we can't drive any further
we'll drive all night
until sleep is calling
we'll drive all night
until the new day sunrise

I'm leaving home again
when I'll come back
I can't say for certain
I'll take my pen
I'll write when I can
thats a promise
My bags are packed
my toothbrush
a photograph
postcards
an august notion
My favourite T-shirt
This distance travelled
I'm miles from home
miles from what I know
Theres still so far to go

[chorus]
bright lights shine
in virgin eyes
tail lights red
they fade away
this dashboard glow
we'll drive all night
[counter chorus]
another day away
eight days from home
there's so far
so far to go
eight days from home

Forever it seems
won't be long enough

[outro]
Another day away
eight days from home
