Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
A thousand miles away, that's where you are tonight,
A thousand miles of darkness between us and the light.
I write your name in letters that may never reach your door,
A thousand miles away, and my heart can't take much more.
[chorus]
A thousand miles away, and still I hear your voice,
A thousand miles away, but you're still my only choice.
However far the distance, however long the wait,
A thousand miles away, but love don't know that fate.
[verse]
I count the stars between us, one for every mile,
Hoping one will carry back the memory of your smile.
The nights get long and lonesome, the letters get so few,
A thousand miles away, still I'm reaching out for you.
[chorus]
A thousand miles away, and still I hear your voice,
A thousand miles away, but you're still my only choice.
However far the distance, however long the wait,
A thousand miles away, but love don't know that fate.
[bridge]
Harmonies are echoing across the empty miles,
Carrying my longing through a thousand quiet trials.
Someday soon the distance won't stand between us two,
A thousand miles away won't keep me far from you.
[chorus]
A thousand miles away, and still I hear your voice,
A thousand miles away, but you're still my only choice.
However far the distance, however long the wait,
A thousand miles away, but love don't know that fate.
