Caedmon`s Call Another 10 Miles Lyrics

Another 10 Miles Lyrics

I don't see what you see in me

 I'm just flesh and bone

 Many hours at the carousel,

 Postcards from far from home

 Sometimes I feel as useless as my empty words, old

 president's dogs, clean paws, no dirt

 

 What do these words mean?

 Sometimes I just don't know.

 Sometimes I just can't see

 where it is I go- I waste

 my whole day thinking over

 things I've said and avoiding myself

 like the plague in my head

 

 I know that you see me and I know

 You're about me, that's why You

 let me roam

 Another 10 miles, another 10 miles, another 10 miles

 

 Where does this all lead, and

 why must I follow it?

 Nothing is black and white,

 (even me, I must admit).

 I jot down the facts and work

 on consistency, but open up the

 closet door; it's George, and 

 the cat, and me.

 

 My shifting eyes like sands

 cannot focus on the void,

 concentration still,

 "Get thee behind me, Freud."

 I'm grasping at straws and

 the bale is almost gone;

 the fire's grown much too dim,

 nights grow much too long-

 

 I am holding things Yours, not mine

 while I should cling to You like a

 cow beneath the light of a highway sign.
