Miles Away from Home - Fangorn

Tear drops fell on mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said, we miss you girl We love you come on home Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm five hundred miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home It's hard to tell the state I'm in Where I'm going, where I've been But there's a dream I've been following so long If mama knew the things I've done She'd forgive them everyone But I'm still five hundred miles away from home Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

No one in sight for fifty miles Sleeping fields sigh as I glide across their spines. If I can just reach the crest of that hill This whole day will tumble, out the night will spill. The sky as still as a spinning top Shooting stars drop like burning words from above If I could just connect all these dots The truth would tumble like a Cynic vexed by love. And yet people keep saying I'm miles from my home, Miles from my home. I met you again in my sleep last night, These are days of slow boats and false starts. Hearts remain under lock and key, You will be the one to set them both free. And yet people will tell you You're miles from your home, Miles from your home. But that's where I want to be. Out there searching, Out here fumbling, Out here waiting For you and you for me. The moon hangs like a question mark, Pale as milk, bold as promise. When will you share these sights with us? When will we hold you in our arms? And people will tell them We're miles from our home, Miles from our home.

I'm far away from home, but I'm sure I know she knows That there's nobody else existing in my world In the middle of the road, a beacon lighting up for help Telling me to come back home, I don't know where to go In the morning, with nobody next to me In my bed, in my bed So lonely, will somebody come and help? I'm rotting in the image of my head

Working in my Castle Miss the smile that she wore Fighting in that battle Till I head back to shore Leaving in the God's Hands The day of the harvest Working on my Good plans But they're kind of the hardest And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been Way Way Far from them And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been away Way Far too long Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Dreaming in my car like Big moves quiet wins Wearing all my scars like They're part of my wings Wondering where they are It pulls on my heartstrings Speeding up my drive like Big moovies on the screens And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been Way Way Far from them And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been away Way Far too long Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home
