Miles Away Lyrics by John Foxx

Metamatic

1981

Miles away
I'm walking in like someone else again
Miles away
I'm watching summer through an English rain
And I'm a new man when I walk away
It's crazy
Shaking the daze from my head again
I know I must be miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
I reassemble on the morning train
I try to say
My voice just tumbles on a long delay
And there's a new man at the edge of me
It's crazy
Making new plans for the rest of me
I'm looking back from miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
All the same
We talk on telephones across the haze
Miles away
The planes go glinting on their vapour trails
And I'm a new man when I walk away
It's crazy
Turning my head to the shine again
I'm waking up from miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
