So Many Miles

These feet have walked so many miles And on so many continents Still this heart is beating wild As yet of no great consequence But oh, When the rhythm is right I catch a wind and fly Far beyond these Paris nights Into another consciousness The fortuneteller isn’t right It’s scary but it’s glorious And oh, I know this time I’ll catch a wind and fly So many miles Those days are gone! You’re still alive! And after so, So many miles I open up my weary eyes To gaze upon the firmament Again I’m under foreign skies But longing’s all that’s permanent And oh, I know this time I’ll catch a wind and fly So many miles Those days are gone! You’re still alive! And after so, So many miles!
