Ten Thousand Miles

It's 4 o'clock in the morning, but there's no sleep on me
I'm loggin' onto a site that might let me know
Where you could be
Your things lie right where you left them
We got new neighbours now!
And the jerk 'cross the road hit a truck with his car
Walked away somehow
I'm movin' on with the seasons,
You had your reasons I guess
But I can't work it out, what made you leave
Guess only you know best
No I'm one for prayin' much
But lately I've been doin' it more
I would give up the fight for a sign you're alright
If you'd call or write or just come walkin' through
That old front door
And if you need me I'll board that plane
An' if the airport's closed I'll take the train
An' if the rails are broke I'll take the bus
An' if the bus breaks down I'll walk ten thousand miles
To bring you home again.
They say that no news is good news, but when I pick up the mail
My heart is skippin' a beat like when I answer up the phone
Or think it's you walkin' down the street
Are you sad are you happy? have you found a new friend?
Are you eatin' enough? I could mail a cheque if I knew where you'd be
Somewhere to send....
No I'm one for prayin' much
But lately I've been doin' it more
I would give up the fight for a sign you're alright
If you'd call or write or just come walkin' through
That old front door
And if you need me I'll board that plane
An' if the airport's closed I'll take the train
An' if the rails are broke I'll take the bus
An' if the bus breaks down I'll walk ten thousand miles
To bring you home again.
If you're happy I'll leave you alone,
I'll be hurtin', but i gotta to know
if you're needin' a friend
And you're feelin' you've come to the end
Call me and I'll be there,
By land by sea or by air,
I'm ready to go
'Coz if you need me I'll board that plane
An' if the airport's closed I'll take the train
An' if the rails are broke I'll take the bus
An' if the bus breaks down I'll walk ten thousand miles
To bring you home again.
