*Countless miles away
my love has strayed
To the vastness of open roads, I've prayed.
Only to find you riding along
Singing all those lovely songs
Throw away my pride
wash it out to sea
The only love in the world I need,
is the love that you've so freely given to me
Now fearing tomorrow,
for our time here is only borrowed
It is not ours to keep
I'm oceans deep
and miles away
I need more time
I wish you could stay
Please don't go
I haven't said all the words
I need to say
Strength;
A lost unforeseen
magical wand
Hiding somewhere
Far and beyond
Time is a precious commodity
Not enough hours in the day
to keep these tears from floating away
I'm oceans deep
and miles away
You've wandered along a hidden path
covered in deep mossy
disappearing tracks
Please come back
won't you stay?
Insufferable time
Just give me one more day...
