Miles And Friends

She was only 16 and I was just 21
We danced beneath the moonlight
Swore from this town we'd run
Heard the whispers of friends
But our love silenced them all
We counted days that summer
And left for New York early that fall

But now I'm sitting in a small Scottish town
A tiny cafe echoes Homeward Bound
I'm thinking of the miles I've roamed these past years
I wonder if I called on the phone
Would you be there all alone
And would my voice still be kind to your ears
Miles and Friends

She started college, I got myself a gig
There was never much money but I was paid to sing
We roamed New Amsterdam like the Dutch in days of lore
Talked of marriage and kids, she said she wanted four

Everyone dreams, not everyone follows
Not every dream comes true nor goes astray
But once in your life you must take a chance
Once in your life you must try for true romance

We sat there one Sunday just reading the Times
Neither of us said a word, we knew we had crossed the line
Lovers no longer in love, but love just the same
We left with a long embrace, some memories never erase

And now I'm sitting in a small Scottish town
A tiny cafe echoes Homeward Bound
I'm thinking of the miles I've roamed these past years
And now I'm calling on the phone
Are you still there all alone?
And is my voice still kind to your ears?
