3,000 Miles From Here Lyrics

Ian Hunter 3,000 Miles From Here

Fare thee well, gentle maid
I'll see you on your way
And the sun will rise tomorrow
And wash my sins away
For I know that I've abused you
But I only had a day
And I know that's why you left me
In your own sad little way

I am gone, disappeared
But I hear a young dove crying
Three thousand miles from here

Some would say you were a loser
'Cause you play a loser's game
But then if I am a winner
Why then am I so ashamed?
If you hear a young dove crying
You'll know it's me to blame
For I never got her number
I never knew her name

Now she's gone, disappeared
But I hear a young dove crying
Three thousand miles from here
