500 Miles Songtext
von Sandra McCracken

500 miles, I stop to write a postcard
It′s a long way back
Words on a card are less than consolation
For the things you lack

Past the deadline, call from a landline
But you can't make somebody understand
All you can handle, blow out the candle
And it goes round, and it goes round again

500 miles, with love like medication
And my hands are tied
Weeds to the door, so much deliberation
You could lose your mind


Past the deadline, wait ′til the right time
But you can't see the end before you start
Fade like a fashion, the moment is passing
And I can't stay much longer in the dark

500 miles through the open window
As the train goes by
500 miles is maybe all I needed just to get it right
All I need, all that goes comes around
All I need to get it right, yeah

And past the deadline, call from a landline
But you can′t make somebody understand
All you can handle, blow out the candle
And it goes round, and it goes round again

500 miles, somewhere over Kansas
And the storm goes by
500 miles is maybe all I needed just to get it right
All I need, all I need to get it right (all I need)
All I need to get it right
