| Came into this world, I was lost not found
|
| It did not hold me in its 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 hits 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 |
