miles

Can I walk with you a mile
wipe the tears from your eyes
stop the wars that leave you lonely
fallen like a child

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

Standing by you another mile
through the circles thru turns
I used to be a little boy
a little boy my love

Standing silent near truth
paying the price of your wall
the clock ticks timing my wounds
If I stumble who catches my fall

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

All the drums beat out of time
every string holding you unwinds
when you are lost in the lines
in darkest days I will find you

If very ocean seems to crash upon you
I will swim through the endless tempest
My strength is you and passions past
When my breath is thin I will not rest

to hold you burns
burns
something in me yearns
hurts

I used to be a little boy
or so I've been told how
you wouldn't harm me then
why would you harm me now
