Across the Many Miles

I love you when the sun goes down
It can stay there for all I care
You were born in a desert that grows drier every day
Another drop of water another chance to say
I was with you for awhile
Now I'm only reaching across the many miles

Time is a witness at the scene of the crime
It never gets any easier to say goodbye
We just keep running while trying to be still
Let go of my pretending to handle things so well
I was with you for awhile
Now I'm only reaching across the many miles

I love you like the sunlight loves the breeze
Hold onto summer memories that the winter's going to be
Warm with the thought of you, kindling my dreams

I love you when the world has passed me by
The sky once full of stars become an endless night
Close my eyes to the ever shortening day
Open my heart to the river when you're an ocean away
I was with you for awhile
Now I'm only reaching across the many miles

I love you like the water loves the sea
Hold onto Autumn and its mystic remedies
I will hold onto you loving me

And I walk this mile
With a childlike smile
And question on my mind

That when I come to find you
At the end of my road remind you
That you were mine

I was with you for awhile
Now I'm only reaching across the many miles
