Miles Between

I watch the clock, the days stretch on,

Every sunrise reminds me she’s gone.

Letters unanswered, calls turned away,

I’m trapped in the distance, nothing I can say.

I hear the echoes of a silent plea,

A voice I need, but it won’t reach me.

Miles between, but my heart won’t break,

I’m holding on for her, for heaven’s sake.

Even if the world has shut her out,

I’ll find a way to bring her home somehow.

Through every storm, I imagine her eyes,

The girl I know hidden beneath the lies.

My brothers tell me she’s still holding strong,

But I feel the emptiness, and it’s lasting too long.

I hear the echoes of a silent plea,

A voice I need, but it won’t reach me.

Miles between, but my heart won’t break,

I’m holding on for her, for heaven’s sake.

Even if the world has shut her out,

I’ll find a way to bring her home somehow.

I can’t be there to shield her tonight,

But I swear I’ll fight, I’ll make it right.

No shadow too dark, no lie too deep,

I’ll cross the distance, her safety to keep.

Miles between, but my love remains,

I’ll find her voice through the silent chains.
