3000 Miles Away Lyrics

3000 Miles Away lyrics

New Orleans could not find the groove

In Nashville the grass did not seem
blue

And Denver did not seem more than three feet high

The Empire
did not scrape the sky

And the White House seemed gray

When you're
3000 miles away



In Boston there was no common ground

And
Long Island did not make a sound

Niagara rises and Old Faithful falls

At Camden they did not play ball

But who cares if they play

When
you're 3000 miles away



CHORUS

Your absence changes me and
everything seems so wrong

But with no sense of irony

I write you
this sweet love song today

3000 miles away



Chicago could not
muster a breeze

And there was a blizzard in The Keys

New England's
charms were wasted on these eyes

I fear it came as no surprise

Because it's just another day

When you're 3000 miles away



REPEAT CHORUS



Distance is my tutor

So well he's teaching
me

In the education of appreciation

And I got my PH.D.



In Georgia you're all that's on my mind

In Cape Cod the ocean was
untied

And the motor city threw a rod

And now I'm praying to you
God

Take me home to that face

3000 miles away
