A Thousand Miles - The Innocence Mission
Written by:Karen/Don Peris
My soles catch dogwood petals
I don't know who lives here
Where people are walking to a birthday
I am just passing by
This boy who sits in sadness
Beside me in the traffic
He is turning
Farther and farther
I go straight into town
A thousand miles near
A thousand miles far
A thousand miles away
I want to be like sister Margaret Edmond
Whose life connects with so many
In this city
I am inside my door
Some fellow misunderstood me
I thought I'd spoken clearly
Living rooms are
Such a long way
For words to travel alone
A thousand miles near
A thousand miles far
A thousand miles away
A thousand miles near
A thousand miles far
A thousand miles away
