Lyrics
When I'm all alone on a distant path
Feeling isolated and distant on a separate journey.
And my ticket home has been torn in half
His means of returning home is disrupted or lost.
Oh, I can hear your voice, girl I can feel your touch
Sensing the presence of his loved one through memory and imagination.
Across the miles tonight
Despite the physical distance, he feels connected to his partner.
On the road again, will it always be
Questioning if the journey always alters his initial aspirations.
That the dream gets changed on its way to reality
Recognizing changes in his dreams as they become reality.
Oh, but the thought of you, strange how it pulls me through
Reflecting on how thoughts of his partner motivate and support him.
Across the miles tonight
Emphasizing the enduring connection despite the miles apart.
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Using technology to communicate across the distance.
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
Encouraging his partner to remain strong and hold on.
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Concentrating intensely on thoughts of his partner.
Now the sound of your laughter trails off through the midnight sky
Imagining the fading sound of his partner's laughter in the night.
As the miles go by, cities come and go
Observing the passing of time and places during the separation.
When you close your eyes and listen to the radio
Suggesting a way for his partner to feel connected through music.
Girl, can you hear my song, the signal is clear and strong
Asking if his partner can sense his emotional message.
Across the miles tonight
Reiterating the connection across the miles.
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Duplicating the sentiment of using technology for communication.
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
Repeating the encouragement to remain strong.
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Continuing to focus intensely on thoughts of his partner.
Now the sound of your laughter trails off
Recalling the lingering memory of his partner's laughter.
Across the miles
Highlighting the enduring connection despite distance.
