10 Miles From Nowhere

How have you been
in the shape you were in
I'm suprised that you got where you're going
Who would believe
What a date you would be
If I knew I'd have thought about knowing
And in between now and the last time we met
I'd open the door if I met you again
And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends
From here until 10 miles from nowhere
What is that there
In your brown paper box
I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost
I'd sworn it was you
Who was destined and gone
To the pressure of past undertakings
Had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
for the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee
From here until 10...
From now until 10...miles from nowhere

Ten Miles From Nowhere

How have you been
In the shape you were in
Im suprised that you got where youre going
Who would believe
What a date you would be
If I knew Id have thought about knowing
And in between now and the last time we met
Id open the door if I met you again
And I swear that wed be better/fair ever friends

Pleasure Dome

Now I know none of this was planned, it all just kinda happened
I got more than I wanted, but how is still a mystery
Obsessed with this feeling, I trusted it, so I followed it
Im tripping and stumbling across the land, full of miracles
Into a world so far from home, miles and miles from nowhere
Rooms without doors open for me, oh no
Taking me miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost in my own pleasure dome
Oh man, I aint got a clue, how you get out, or how to find this place
I want my control back, but Im afraid, Ill lose that feeling
Lost in a world so far from home, Im miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, Im miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost inside my pleasure dome
(solo)
Lost in a world, cant find my way home, miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, miles and miles from nowhere
Millions of miles, oh no, miles and miles and miles from nowhere
Miles and miles and miles and miles, oh
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost inside my pleasure dome, yeah
Lost, lost

Swear Your Love

by Kenny Loggins
I got a letter from my love
It said,"Eaxactly what I'm thinkin' of
No words can say"
Well darlin' I'll find a way
You see your diamond ring
I'm here to say it doesn't mean a thing
Without your love,
'N if that's all we really got
Then take it off
Tear it off
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
If some piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
All you really got after it's said and done
Is what we tell each other
When there's one on one
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
I know a lady in Spokane
She thought that happiness would find her when
She caught a man
Security second hand
She got her diamond ring
It's sad to say
That was the only thing
I guess she forgot
You gotta believe enough
To swear your love
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love
That's the only way to hold on babe
Promise me you'll be my only lady
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
This ain't no ticket out
Is that what you think
Our love is about?
Think twice before you call
Girl, get it straight
Or don't get it at all
(SOLO)
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love ( 8 times )

2000 Miles

Theres something I need to say
Im not sad youre gone away no way
Wont be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasnt then but now Im sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
Had to get me to the church on time
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
Youve been bitching at me for awhile
Say hey now baby dont you cramp my style
Dont go beating me like that
Im glad I wont be coming back
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

I Can See For Miles

I know youve deceived me, now heres a surprise
I know that you have cause theres magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
If you think that I dont know about the little tricks youve played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way
Well, heres a poke at you
Youre gonna choke on it too
Youre gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now youve got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, thats as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
I know youve deceived me, now heres a surprise
I know that you have cause theres magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
The eiffel tower and the taj mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze
Well, heres a poke at you
Youre gonna choke on it too
Youre gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

You Were Gone

Emptiness has covered my mind.
You were gone.
This was any way expected.
What I never thought,
That you would disappear
Behind the silence much before.
I returned from your door,
Time and again.
The belief made me wait.
Your call to return though never came.
Now many miles away,
Only wall of impossibility reigns.

Asking Myself Why

I sat down to write a letter
to an old friend of mine,
someone I had not seen
for thirty or forty years.
Only realizing as I put pen to paper
how the years had flown by,
though it only seem like yesterday
we had met on the street
and had a long chat together.
I realized then to my regret
that I did not know if
they were alive or dead.
If they were gone,
yet another thread to my past
had disappeared forever.
A curtain of sadness fell over me
as my memories re-enacted
moments from so long ago,
moments that will never return.

My pen hovered above the paper
and no words could I write
as my mind clouded with memories
of friends I had let go.
It's so easy to say see you later,
when half the time we never do.
Then comes today like now
and you realise there maybe no later.
Those friends of yesterday maybe gone
and only reside within your memories.
Tears glazed my eyes
and I gave a silent sigh.
I wondered how may more times
will I ask myself why
in the passing of time.
Why I just sat and let them go.

40 Miles From the Sun

There is nowhere left to hide
There is nothing to be done
No people to be saved
No pets we've never names
40 miles from the sun

As darkness craves the mind
We come undone without our pride
No time on the earth to come
All the pleasures just begun
40 miles from the sun

In our coats beneath the layers
Wash my skin of all the hate
We should sleep late
Everything just kind of grates
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun

I need to lose to make it right
I'll confront the stars tonight
I will babble I will bite
You will never know how much you shine
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun

This Month Messiah

I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

With every step we take

Twenty miles, then twenty miles,
then twenty miles again.
We’ll keep on walking, day by day,
towards breast cancer’s end.

With every step, with every stair,
We train to walk this path
To raise the funds to fight the beast
And consign it to the past..

It will be hot, It may be wet
As we traverse the miles
and when we rest, beneath the stars,
We’ll sleep like stones awhile

With every step, with every mile
We’re walking towards a cure
And we would walk a thousand miles
To end its’ reign for sure..

If not in time for one we loved
Perhaps in time for others-
So many suffer scars or worse
where death’s dark angel hovers.

Twenty miles, then twenty miles,
then twenty miles again.
We’ll keep on walking, day by day,
towards breast cancer’s end.

It Is Not Easy

it is not easy to pretend that i am
not looking, and you know that when you

take fast glances at me
and i am caught redhanded

filled with desire
the way my hair sways gently

my eyes take some passes
when you catch me

with your quicker looks
i nod down pretending

that i am writing a letter of my own
to a friends miles and miles away

it is not easy for me to think
that you understand all these

longings of touching
and kissing

it is not easy to be a part of you
your past and my past

meeting and knowing very well
the fallen parts

and yet still too weak to pick
them all and give

the picture, the whole,
the real one, the one that shows

the falling of tears
the hands that wipe them

and the silence that comes
after

Lonely Days

Girl i can't abide
By the rules you laid down in this game
'cause now i've gone and lost myself in you
One time you catch a ride
And it takes you miles away
There's a chance of never feeling blue
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because i do believe in forever
And forever i will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Emotional exile
Is the safest way to play
Gotta take a chance every now and then
Irresistible change of heart
I will guide your way
We could share a life again
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because i do believe in forever
And forever i will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away....
(repeat)
Girl i can't abide
By the rules you laid down in this game

I Am An American Still, I Suppose

Rain comes and Darkness with it
I came here a few days ago
As a stranger
And already I am at home.

Miles and miles of Memories
Roads I have traveled
And returned to.

Nothing I was and am and ever will be
Is foreign to me.

I am an American still,
I suppose.

Two Days From Knowing

(gillian welch/matt rollings)
Now the nights turned pink
On the eastern edges
But the sky is cold and still
And I wonder if its the sunrise
Warning the desert
Or the lights of tucson from over the hill
Its a hard way to love you
This long distance romance
Always stopping and starting again
I dont mind the miles
When im out on the highway
But even when im with you the miles just dont end
And im two days from knowing
Whether I can be strong
If I spend one more night in your arms
So ive a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But im two days from knowing for sure
As the night closes down
It fills the horizon
And stretches it out at the seams
And im not sure if tomorow
Im gonna be any closer
To closing the distance between you and me
And im two days from knowing
Whether I can be strong
If I spend one more night in your arms
So ive a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But im two days from knowing for sure
Well ive a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But im two days from knowing for sure

Chisel Hill

Misty eyes on a misty day
Come across a place like this along your way
You walk straight in to that sweet and tender trap
And you know youre lost and found
And there aint no going back
Spend the rest of your days playing all the hardest games
Just to get back to that place again
And memories oh how they stick to you
You know there aint a thing, not a single thing you can do
On chisel hill
Ive been ten thousand miles from this place and seen it I swear
Ive woke up happy thinking that I was there
Its the place I love, its where I wanna be
And I wont give up until I get to see
A little something in there to call my own
Pass the time of day and head off home
The evening shadows on the dry stone walls
The night draws in and the ale house calls
And happy I will be
When the road goes no further than what I see
When past here its nowhere to go
And I aint gonna give up until I get see
Those angel eyes looking up at me
The prince of peace and time is standing still
On chisel hill

Essential Salts of animals may
Be so prepared and preserved
That an ingenious man
May have the whole Ark of Noah in his own
Study and raise the fine shape of an animal
Out of its ashes at his pleasure
Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood
Bring only fear and sadness
Old years of play
Wretched is he who looks back upon lone hours
In vast and dismal chambers
With brown hangings
And maddening rows of antique books
Watch them in twilight groves
Oh in twilight groves
Oh in twilight groves
By method from the essential salts of humane dust
A philosopher may call up the shape of any dead ancestor
From the dust where into his body has been
Incinerated incinerated incinerated
You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child
You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child
In every new born child
Essential Salts of animals may
Be so prepared and preserved
That an ingenious man
May have the whole Ark of Noah in his own
Study and raise the fine shape of an animal
Out of its ashes at his pleasure
You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned, he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child
You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned, he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child
