| Like most songwriters, I often get asked whether I write the lyrics or the music first. The truth is that it varies from song to song. In the case of "Thousand Miles Away", I found myself humming a melody, then wrote lyrics to it a few months later. - Steve H. |
chorus: She's a thousand miles
away / and I can't take it
Seems like forever / since she went
away
Got a chill down in my soul / and
I can't shake it
Can’t live without her love / another
day
1. Well, all my friends keep tellin'
me / that I'm lucky
'Cause I go out / with a different
girl each night
Well, I should be havin' fun / but
there's really only one
Whose arms I want to feel / around
me tight
chorus: But she's a thousand
miles away / and oh, I miss her
Seems like forever / since she went
away
And I'd walk those thousand miles
/ just to kiss her
Can’t live without her love / another
day
2. Well, in this life / true love
don't come easy
And after all we've cried / we ought
to know
But like the saying goes / you'll
never find a rose
That doesn't have / a thorn or two
also
chorus: Oh, she's a thousand
miles away / and I can't take it
Seems like forever / since she went
away
Got a chill down in my soul / and
I can't shake it
Can’t live without her love / another
day
Oh, but she's a thousand miles away.
