THOUSAND MILES ABOVE by Tom Jensen
She came from the land of the sun
Parting the clouds that hang above
Conquering new cities in the name of love
From a thousand miles away
To a thousand miles above
When we first met I knew
That she was not ordinary
Conversation sent a chill through my bones
Falling in love in just an hour
Is so extraordinary
From that moment on I didn’t want to be alone
Before she came I had loved
And I had lost, oh but of course
Still I had to pay the cost
Bitch got half when we got divorced
Well the mistakes I made
I soon had corrected
Funny how love creeps up
When you least expect it
She only wanted my friendship
But I wanted so much more
Best friends forever
Seems like such a bore
This feeling for her I have to direct it
So like a dog on the porch I wait
To sneak in the back door
When she least expects it
As I dream of her
It’s like staring at the stars
I soon lose my train of thought
And go walking into cars
She could end up killing me
But what a way to die
Lying on the street face up
Seeing her face in the sky
The day she tells me
Well never go any higher
Is the day I sell my shoes
And walk across the fire
To prove my love Ill race into any burning building
To rescue anyone her heart desires
Even her dog or her cat
Tell me what you think of that?
Day after day you still amaze me
Don’t tell me no it’ll drive me crazy
Don’t fan the flames
Don’t burn me
I’m not so bad
When you learn
