Inches and Miles Lyrics by David Mallett

Inches and Miles

0

[Verse 1]
How many times have we talked to each other
Like sister and brother, like mother and child?
How many fires have we sat by together
Keepin' from the weather when the wind was runnin' wild?
[Verse 2]
And how come we never married? How is it that we buried
All the feelings that we've carried for such a long, long while?
And speaking of feelings, I feel like that the distance between us
Is growin' by inches and miles
[Verse 3]
And how well I remember when we came together
I taught you to listen, and you taught me how to care
But now as I whisper the words to the love songs
We once learned together, the music is not there
[Verse 4]
And now my fire needs attending, and my faith needs mending
Oh, it seems there is no ending to my feelings and my fears
And while I am talking, I feel that the distance between us
Is growing by minutes and years
[Verse 5]
And now like some beggar I stare at your window
Your candles are burning, and your love is inside
But doors can't be opened by wishes nor tokens
And all things have endings, and beggars have their pride
[Verse 6]
And now I know I should be leaving, but my feelings are deceiving
You are standing in the doorway and you're trying hard to smile
And while you are smiling, I feel that the distance between us
Is growing by inches and miles
[Outro]
And while you are smiling, I feel that the distance between us
Is growing by inches and miles
