Lyrics

Snapshot memories giving off their light
shine through like planets on a moonless country night
they guide me steadfast as I turn another day
around and round and round till I'm a thousand miles

Away from a distant shore that I once called my home
from the place I left you standing when I started on my own
that will always be a part of me I take along the way
but I'm a thousand miles away

What I knew I know I cannot connect with now
and even if I could I would not bother anyhow
DO NOT DISTURB the door sign hangs out on display
and in that room another life a thousand miles

Away from another person I have since become
and my vision's so much clearer as I'm nearer to the sun
where I once saw only darkness I perceive the Milky Way
I'm a thousand miles away

What we had is over now leave well enough alone
I've got my own wings yeah this bird has finally flown
you search for clues among the news or yesterday
but you won't find me there cause I'm a thousand miles

Away to be another person I have since become
and my vision's so much clearer as I'm nearer to the sun
where I once saw only darkness I perceive the Milky Way
I'm a thousand miles away
