Kelly Carter - Miles Away

Miles away
I'm leaving from my hometown for someplace new
Searching for some meaning beyond you
Maybe I can find it miles away
You kept my head up in the clouds
Kept me rolling in the joy of thinking that you could love me now
You seemed to be the doctor for a woman's lonely heart
And it's soured over time, but your cure was real good at the start
But it's miles away.
And if you saw me next Sunday,
Could you lay down all your cards?
Could you lay down every game you've played with a clumsy heart?
Or would you strengthen your defenses;
Stand your ground on sinking sand?
I've got to know, but there's only one way
And you're miles away
Gone today
You're coming home just as I'm leaving for a while
What I wouldn't give to stay and see you smile,
If I knew that it would matter either way.
Can't you see,
I've been lost and lonesome for so long
Never loved a man that didn't do me wrong
Would it be any different if you loved me today?
And if I saw you next Tuesday,
Could I lay down all my cards?
Could I lay down every veil I've drawn keeping us apart
Or would I strengthen my defenses;
Stand my ground on sinking sand?
If I'm going to know, then there's only one way
And you're miles away.
And if I saw you next Sunday,
Could we lay down all our cards?
Could we lay down every game we've played,
Just two open hearts
Or would we strengthen our defenses;
Stand our ground on sinking sand?
If I'm going to know, there's only one way
And you're miles away.
