Miles to Go

Alison Krauss & Union Station



Miles To Go


It's feeling longer now than it ever has before
Another memory is another slamming door
It's getting too dark now to see
Every photograph is another lesson learned
Every sleepless night is another page I've turned
I wake up to fallen dreams

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go

If I had a chance, I must have missed it long ago
If I could run away, I wouldn't have to let you go
This angel's bound to stray
Like an hourglass, I'm a soul of sinking sand


You try to hold my heart and I will slip right through your hands
Time just blows away

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go
And the tears forever flow

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go
This angel's bound to stray
It's another shade of miles and miles to go
