My Dear Eliza

My dear Eliza

Where have you been?

It's too cold in northern Michigan to feel the way we did

I need you right now

Like I did back then

Now I'm hanging on your every word till you say my name again

You know my heart

Has turned from red to blue

We've been apart

So long, I barely knew you

Oh, my darling

It pains me to say

What a difference it makes

Being a thousand miles away

My dear Eliza

Where have you been?

I'm too far to be a fixture

And too close to be your friend

I need you right now

Like I did back then

Was I even in the picture?

Was I the one holding the lens?

You know my heart

Has turned from red to blue

We've been apart

So long, I barely knew you

Oh, my darling

It pains me to say

What a difference it makes

Being a thousand miles away

A thousand miles away

A thousand miles away

You know my heart

Has turned from red to blue

We've been apart

So long, I barely knew you

Oh, my darling

It pains me to say

What a difference it makes

Being a thousand miles away

Oh, my Eliza

Oh, my lands
