Miles Away

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
