She sits by the window
And looks at the lights
Stay calm and carry-on
Retreat for the evening
To a land far away
All I ever wanted was you
She walked by a table with a setting for two
She goes through the motions but it’s just no use
Lost in the night
Like rain off your sleeve
There’s a quiet in the air tonight
This world is such a thief
Stars can’t shine without darkness
I wish I was an airplane
Flying through the clouds of heartache
Save me with your loving arms
Make this world a better place
I know you’ll be there
Days are coming soon

You can happy dance
On this lonely street
Never miss a chance
To make your life complete

There’s a long road ahead
And a long road behind
On this pathway in the sun
I can see your face
I can call out your name
I can sing it to everyone
And how it used to be
And how it is today
It’s just not the same
You’ll  come back someday
You’ll be here to stay
And no one is to blame

Elizabeth walks in the room
And leaves again without a trace
With a light in her eyes
And a smile upon her face
When I come around I hope you hear the song that plays in my heart
Like a band that gets together and plays their music in the park
When your mind won’t rest
Just say it out loud
You are never alone
Never lost in the crowd
You’ll be loved and always
It’s in the air
Loves all around you
You live without a care

1000 miles between us
1000 reasons why
So many things I should have told her
Silky sky say goodbye

She took a plane to New York City
To fly the friendly skies
Kept his picture in her fancy townhouse apartment
On a shelf up high
There’s a world you’re living in
Turn your collar to the wind
He caught a greyhound down to Nashville
With his music and his songs
Joined a band from Kansas City
So far from home

It was hard for her
To be away so long
Hard to let go
Of what was gone
Living in the shadows
Time for a change
Couldn’t come soon enough
I don’t ever want to leave this place
This world is a stage
Greediness is a curse I guess
Your here but you’re not
Men build fences
Men build walls
Then tear them down
For the sake of all
In a moments time
It all could end
If we don’t get back
To where we’ve been
The winds from far away
Brought you back somehow
Must’ve missed some signs along the way
Nothing else matters anymore
You took away the loneliness of this world
I’d do it all again
I wouldn’t change a thing
Cold night
Hold me tight
Winter city
So please don’t get lost
And be away so long
Debate this round in my rearview mirror
Another day another night
In this cold city
With your struggles you discovered
What a lonely place this world can be
You’ve  seen a thing or two
And know about courage
It’s a delicate balance
It’s a slippery *****
That drops down to the sea
Where hearts can do the same
Dancing  boats just drift away
Drift away
Drift away
