Song Lyrics[]
Head on my pillow, watching the door
Wipe the sweat from allowed before
My house really close, the night is through
Lay right down and I think of you
'Cause you're miles away
You're miles away
I want you here and I'm
Miles away
You can't stay out late in a country town
Street by street there's no one around
I hope you don't mind to call this day
2 more days and I'm away
'Cause you're miles away
You're miles away
I'm calling your name from
Miles away
Days before
I'm in your arms and I'm in heaven
And now I know
And I've been a while till I'm back again
(Instrumental break on guitar)
Days before
I'm in your arms and I'm in heaven
And now I know
And I've been a while
(Instrumental break on tin whistle)
I saw a movie late last night
With girls since she was years for life
She stared at her picture in her hand
Turned the head and began to cry
In this world there's so many alone
So many people trying to get back home
Making out scenes for the Holy sign
I got a jumbo brain from the picture of mine
'Cause you're miles away
You're miles away
I want you and I'm miles away
I'm calling your name from miles away
I'm thinking of you from miles away
