Miles and Miles Away
Beyond Distance: A Melody of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I never see you anymore
I feel a lack of presence from you
Since you walked out my door
Since you left my life
Though life has carried you away
Life has taken you away
I know that you'll return one day
Believing that you will eventually come back
And soothe a heart that's sore
To comfort a pained heart
But we are never apart though you are
We are still connected despite the physical distance
Miles and miles away
You are far away in terms of miles
You are miles and miles away
Emphasizing the distance
Miles and miles away
Reiteration of the physical separation
Miles and miles away
Continued emphasis on the distance
Well you hear every note
Your connection to music is deep and instinctive
You learned it all by rote
You've mastered the musical notes
It all comes pouring from your soul
Your music emanates from the depths of your being
As if to fill up a great hole
As if filling a void within
A beautiful song you wrote
You've created a beautiful song
And we are never apart though you are
Despite the physical separation, our connection persists
Miles and miles away
Reiteration of the distance
And you are miles and miles away
Underlining the miles between
Miles and miles away
Continued emphasis on the distance
Miles and miles away
Repeating the theme of physical separation
You know when souls entwine
When our souls connect
My heart is yours and yours is mine
Mutual ownership of hearts
But in this troubled world we see
In the troubled world, we hurt each other
Me hurting you, you hurting me
Seeking divine forgiveness
We need forgiveness divine
We need transcendent forgiveness
But we are never apart though you are
Our connection persists despite the distance
Miles and miles away
Reiteration of the miles between us
You are miles and miles away
Highlighting the physical separation
Miles and miles away
Continued emphasis on the distance
Miles and miles away
Repeating the theme of physical separation
You are the Lord of all
Addressing a higher power as the protector
You catch us when we fall
The higher power supports and guides
And teach us "Only truth is true"
Teaching the importance of truth
And nothing else will do
Nothing but truth can heal our hearts
To heal the ache in our hearts
The need for healing
And we are never apart though You are
Connection with the divine despite physical distance
Miles and miles away
Reiteration of the miles between
You are miles and miles away
Emphasizing the physical separation
You seem to be miles and miles away
Expressing the emotional distance
So far away from me
Feeling your absence intensely
Miles and miles away
Repeating the theme of physical separation
But no time, no space, no body-mind
No constraints of time, space, or body-mind
Please give to me a little sign
Seeking a sign of presence
So I know that you're here with me
Yearning for a clear indication of your presence
So that I may plainly see
Desire for a visible confirmation
No time, no miles, keep us apart
No barriers can separate us
You're timelessly within my heart
You exist timelessly in my heart and soul
And soul
Emphasizing the enduring connection
And soul
Repeating the connection of heart and soul
Heart and soul
Heart and soul are intertwined
Heart and soul
Reiteration of the connection of heart and soul
