Ten Thousand Miles

The street lights on the port side Fade away and flicker out of sight Into the inky darkness As I soar away into the black of night A sad farewell at the departure gate And now I'm on my own A pang of pain in my heart to let me know I'm travelling ten thousand miles from home The "angel" of the cabin Flits from seat to seat and row to row Her reassuring smile Helps to heal the pain that just won't let me go Please cut me loose, I need to free my mind I'm here on my own I'm so confused; I fall into a troubled sleep I'm travelling ten thousand miles from home Always steadfast in my mission Resolute and my aims were always true But the dream became a nightmare And now it's just a thing I have to do In a tourist town, in a foreign land I've got to make it on my own Too much to lose, I need to see this through I'm travelling ten thousand miles from home
