Lyrics
Ten Thousand Miles
(L. Wilson)
I guess I put all of my best dreams
into your shoe when you weren?t looking
And you just kept right on walking through the mud
Now how can I blame you for not knowing love?
[CHORUS:]
But I?m down on my knees ten thousand miles away
praying to hear something you?ll never say
?Cause I?ve been living through this love all on my own
Asleep in the bed that I made alone
I might know the bridges that you couldn?t cross
I can imagine the places your heart got lost
But none of that matters now you?re just not here
You?re down in that other hemisphere
[CHORUS]
I know that nothing was in vain
No breath was wasted on your name
And if I could do it all over
you know I would do it the same
[CHORUS]
