Intro Verse Came into this world, I was lost not found It did not hold me in its arms like it holds me now So I dreamed myself a bird who could cross the waves And I woke up just a man who was miles away Chorus Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away Verse So I went to Cape Canaveral and I went to the moon And I stayed up there for a year or two Famous picture of me above the blue parade A man a million miles up, still miles away Chorus Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away Verse So I went back to Kansas, it was summertime Brought flowers to my family by the riverside At the end of his life, they said my father had changed I suppose we could have been friends, but I was miles away Chorus Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away Verse Honey, you don't belong in a place like this With your long yellow hair and your hips But the look in your eye is like the world from space The way the sun hits off the water from miles away Chorus Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away Outro Honey, can you leave your light on? Honey, can you leave your light on? Honey, can you leave your light on? Honey, can you leave your light on? I'm miles away, miles away Miles away, miles away
