I can see you down the river Standing on the shoreline dipping your toes And I know that you love this place But you know that you won't stay Got a ticket for a plane ride in the morn' You won't call me anymore But I could never blame you For living your life on the other side of the world And I tried to save Your bracelet with the white pearls As if I could save you too When our shadows converge and our opinions conflict I choke on my words... I hesitate But when my ego gets curbed, it's been you at the reins Wearing boots and a sundress While you're guiding me back to earth again But then, you won't call me anymore But I could never blame you For living your life on the other side of the world And I tried to save Your bracelet with the white pearls As if I could save you too So let some light in the room Lay by my side Let me soak in your presence as you soak in mine 'Cause you'll be gone again... ten thousand miles Ten thousand miles
