6000 Miles

6000 miles behind I left you

6000 miles feels so alone

6000 miles I'd have to travel

6000 miles to get back home

I'd have to sail oceans boundless

I'd have to cross endless skies

Some nights I do dream I can grow wings

And I can fly that 6000 miles back home to you, mmm

I traded you for some great adventure

Stepped out into a world unknown

To far away lands did I wander

Whose deserts and mountains I now roam, whoa

But I just can't let go of your golden shores

And I still crave your salty air

And if I was standing on the edge of Heaven or earth tonight

I couldn't care about anything less than 6000 miles, mmm

Oh, I've never really had much of a way with words

But God knows I love to sing

The feel of this sound coming through me

The feel of the joy inside that it brings

And so, yeah, tonight I'll be your minstrel

And you be my silent beating drum

Whenever that music plays inside us

Not even oceans, not even oceans can keep us apart

Not even 6000 miles, mmm

6000 miles and get back home to you
