As the miles sing the distance

As the miles sing the distance

Let's dust off old words
and give new meaning to the past
And raise our glasses, second glances,
to the memories that we have
Yeah this is ours alone
Our burden to carry
But it's only temporary
Yeah it's only temporary

And I know where the lonely go
And I don't want to see
You spending every night all alone
As the miles sing you to sleep

When I'm gone
It won't be long
So hold on don't break
Yeah hold on don't break

When I'm gone
It won't be long
So hold on don't break
Yeah hold on don't break away

I wish I had a way to reach the world over
Yeah to tie us by the wrists
And spend our nights as tightrope walkers
I remember when you said I think
"Those lips will be the death of me"
You were desperate and undressed, modest yet confident

And I know where the lonely go
And I don't want to see
You spending every night all alone
As the miles sing you to sleep

When I'm gone
It won't be long
So hold on don't break
Yeah hold on don't break
[x2]

From now on
Its eyes closed
You can find me here
Until I come home
[x3]

From now on
Its eyes closed
You can find me here
You can find me

When I'm gone
It won't be long
So hold on don't break
Yeah hold on don't break
