about

A song about the trauma of separation

lyrics

There's a lonely boy who fled this town forever
And left his family deep in disarray
Will there come a time when they'll all be back together
Might as well just be a thousand miles away

Did you know that girl who followed her conviction
Refused to please her family and obey
She turned down the chosen man now she's free from their restriction
Might as well just be a thousand miles away.


Miles away, miles away
She refused to please her family and obey
She turned down the chosen man now she's free from their restriction
Might as well just be a thousand miles away

There's a family I know who ran from their homeland
Finding more freedom with each day
What they all went through it would break down a strong man
Might as well just be a thousand miles away

Miles away, Miles away
They're finding more freedom with each day
What they all went through it would break down a strong man
Might as well just be a thousand miles away

Do you know someone who's gone, away you thought, for ever
Leaving your own heart in disarray?
Will there come a time when you'll be back together?
Might as well just be a thousand miles away

Miles away, Miles away
They leave all our hearts in disarray
There will come a time when we're all be back together
And our troubles are a thousand miles away….
Yes, there will come a time when we'll all be back together
And our troubles are a thousand miles, our troubles are a thousand miles,
Our troubles are a thousand miles away.
