Lyrics
LONG DISTANCE BABY - Richard Murray
Long distance baby
We'e takin the long way down
Youre the stars youre Tipperary
All the miles in your eyes of brown
My long distance baby
Long distance baby
All the pictures I took in my mind
Your smile your wedding dress
I reach out but theyre hard to find
Lying crumpled somewhere in a recess
We bled out all our high times
We drove just too damn hard
An ocean between our prime
And a love to worn and scarred
Its a long distance baby
Long distance baby
You gotta keep that rig a rollin
Haul that bag of bones
Or she'll be on that mystery train boy
Sixteen coaches long
Long distance baby
We're takin the long way down
If we could even talk some maybe
We could pull out of this ghost town
I want to send out this wounded white dove
Out beyond the water wide
And meet again my first love
Down by the riverside
But its a long distance baby
Long distance baby
Long distance baby
