Michael McGuire A Thousand Miles From Today
A THOUSAND MILES FROM TODAY
I’ve got to go, where I don’t know, there’s to much to do, and I aint done
a thing, I’m feeling brilliant blue, and I cant wait for spring, I’m losing my
mind, and when you do it’s so hard to find, nobody can see inside, it’s
hard enough for me, to face the things I try to hide, after you pay the
price, your still not free.
And I hope I’m right about being wrong, I hope I never have to sing this
song, maybe I’ll figure out where I went astray, when I’m ten miles from
today.
Look forward to tomorrow, to accumulate more sorrow, but it’s the only
hope you’ve got, pray for the flesh and live for the ghost, what is is not,
there’s always more it’s never most, I feel so tired, so vaguely inspired, it
don’t matter which choice you make, but a choice must be made, it don’t
matter which feelings you fake, but a passion must be played.
And I pray I don’t ever give up hope, but for now I just try to cope, maybe
I’ll figure out where I went astray, when I’m a hundred miles from today.
They say now or never, they’ll talk that way forever, it’s not from lack of
trying, I just don’t try hard enough, I’m sailing when I could be flying,
these clouds are soft and this roads so rough, gotta keep your faith, tough
you may be losing face, and it can drive you crazy, or it may keep you
sane, it can make you lazy, but it wont ever stop the rain.
And I cling to these threads of belief, tough they’ve not sown any relief,
maybe I’ll figure out why yesterday, when I’m a thousand miles from
today.
