10 Miles from Nowhere

How have you been in the shape you were in

I'm surprised that you got where you're going

And who would believe what a date you would be

If I knew I'd have thought about knowingAnd in between now and the last time we met

I'd open the door if I met you again

And I swear that we'd be better fair ever friends

From here until 10 miles from nowhereWhat is that there in your brown paper box

I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost

And I'd sworn it was you who was destined and gone

To the pressure of past undertakingsAnd had I had known that it might have been me

I might have returned a letter or three

Or gave you a call from the sanctuary

For the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee, oh yeah
