Mile After Mile

Somewhere past the fields

Past the reeds and evergreens she sleeps

My bright eyed, holy child

That dream of mine come to life

My sad and sweet soulmate

And mile, after mile of crumbling road

Spread across this nation just like veins

They keep moving me through

Keep pushing me away from her and towards

Lonely beds and long cold days

And now I can see it

And now I just know that I've pushed too much

Held too much back

I've been too much intact

When I'm falling apart

And I need her now

Need her more than anything

And I'll wait, while hours pass like days

'Till I come home

'Till I can touch her face

'Till I can waste the days away

In comfort and in solitude with her

Safe secure in our home

And now I can see it

And now I just know that I've pushed too much

Held too much back

I've been too much intact

When I'm falling apart

And I need her now

Need her more than anything

And I tell myself, soon you'll be back home

And I tell myself, soon you'll be back home

Soon you'll be back home

Soon you'll be back home

Soon you'll be back home

Soon you'll be back home

Soon you'll be back home

And now I can see it

And now I just know that I've pushed too much

Held too much back

I've been too much intact

When I'm falling apart

And I need her now

Need her more than anything
