The sky is turning and longing for something far away
The moon's a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away
Miles running down a face,
Everything's bound to change,
It's bound to change

Day breaks of tenderness,
So hold me here like this,
So still and quiet as if it might
Keep you happy

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away
Close gets so far away,
Close gets so far

Day breaks of loneliness
I'd weather all of this
If I could find a place where I'd
Keep you happy

Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you, I was just trying to hold you

Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away,
See how they fly
