Too Far Away

(album: Restless - 2002)

In the heat of the night there's a neon light
Where a cup of black coffee kills the appetite
Traveling man closes dusty eyes
Resting down by the riverside
Sudden spark of a cigarette
It takes his coast as a long way yet
One thousand miles too far away

Crazy girl standing by the road
She don't even know where she's going
One of the unforgiven
Making up an angel face in the mirror
Cold cups of coffee by the unmade bed
The scent of her cheap perfume tells a story
How she ran away from home
Became a freeway child
Following her lonely star
One thousand miles too far away

Whiskey man got old eyes
And stories full of lies
But good to pass away the time
As the sun comes up and the blinds go down
Living in this small town
Where the waitress smile
She never seen the sea
Or smell that special air
Well, maybe she'll, maybe she'll get there
One fine day
But it's one thousand miles too far away
One thousand miles too far away
