Miles Away - José Côrte-Real

I just woke up from a fuzzy dream You never would believe those things that I have seen I looked in the mirror and I saw your face You looked right through me, you were miles away All my dreams, they fade away I'll never be the same If you could see me the way you see yourself I can't pretend to be someone else You always love me more, miles away I hear it in your voice, we're miles away You're not afraid to tell me, miles away I guess we're at our best when we're miles away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away When no one's around then I have you here I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear You always have the biggest heart When we're six thousand miles apart Too much of no sound Uncomfortable silence can be so loud Those three words are never enough When it's long distance love You always love me more, miles away I hear it in your voice, we're miles away You're not afraid to tell me, miles away I guess we're at our best when we're miles away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away I'm alright Don't be sorry, but it's true When I'm gone, you'll realise That I'm the best thing that happened to you You always love me more, miles away I hear it in your voice, we're miles away You're not afraid to tell me, miles away I guess we're at our best when we're miles away You always love me more, miles away I hear it in your voice, we're miles away You're not afraid to tell me, miles away I guess we're at our best when we're miles away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away So far away, so far away

So this is love, or so you tell me As you're walkin' out the door And months go by, and I know for certain It's not the love I'm lookin' for Sometimes, just for a moment I reach out, hope you're still there Miles away No, you're never turnin' back I just can't wait anymore Miles away Nothin' left of what we had Just when I needed you most You were miles away It's hard to tell, what you're goin' through You kept your feelings locked inside of you Open your heart, and chances are What you're feelin', I'm feelin' too If only just for a moment Hold on to the dreams that we had Miles away No, you're never turnin' back I just can't wait anymore Miles away Nothin' left of what we had Just when I needed you most You were miles away When times were tough, and you were down and out Who was there by your side? Now you've gone; I'm so tired of bein' alone With only your promises Loneliness just fades away Thoughts of you, just memories No cryin' now, for what we're missin' Time won't forget what you meant to me Hold me, just for a moment Hold on to the dreams that we had Miles away No, you're never turnin' back I just can't wait anymore Miles away Nothin' left of what we had Just when I needed you most You were miles away

Real, real gone I got hit by a bow and arrow Got me down to the very marrow And I'm real, real gone Real, real gone I can't stand up by myself Don't you know I need your help And I'm real, real gone Some people say You can make it on your own Oh, you can make it if you try I know better now You can't stand up alone Oh, baby, that is why I'm real, real gone I can't stand up by myself Don't you know I need your help You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone And Sam Cooke is on the radio And the night is filled with space And your fingertips touch my face You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone I'm real gone Oh, Lord, I got hit by a bow and arrow Got me down to the very marrow You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone And I'm real, real gone I'm real gone Wilson Picket said "In the midnight hour, that's when my love comes tumbling down" Solomon Burke said "If you need me, why don't you call me" James Brown said "When you're tired of what you got, try me" Gene Chandler said "There's a rainbow in my soul"
