Miles Away Heart

[Chorus] Another city, another lonely night Underneath the pale moonlight Got my hands dirty, workin' hard and true But my heart's still back there with you Yeah, this paycheck feels so cold Wish I had your hand to hold Miles away, but I still feel the ache For goodness sake, my heart will break. [Verse] The train pulled out, a whistle in the dark Left a hollow space, left its mark Saw your teary eyes, a whispered goodbye Beneath a vast and unforgiving sky This concrete jungle, it hums a weary tune Beneath the indifferent moon Each sunrise brings a brand new fight Just to make it through the night. [Pre-Chorus] I trace the lines upon my calloused hand Try to understand Why I left the warmth, the familiar street For this bitter, cold defeat. [Chorus] Another city, another lonely night Underneath the pale moonlight Got my hands dirty, workin' hard and true But my heart's still back there with you Yeah, this paycheck feels so cold Wish I had your hand to hold Miles away, but I still feel the ache For goodness sake, my heart will break. [Verse] Got a picture tucked inside my worn-out wallet Your smiling face, I can't quite call it But it's the only thing that keeps me going on Until the break of dawn I send my earnings, every single cent For the life we always meant To build together, strong and bright Shining like a guiding light. [Pre-Chorus] I hear your voice upon the evening breeze Rustling through the trees Whispering your dreams, your hopes, your plea Come back home to me. [Chorus] Another city, another lonely night Underneath the pale moonlight Got my hands dirty, workin' hard and true But my heart's still back there with you Yeah, this paycheck feels so cold Wish I had your hand to hold Miles away, but I still feel the ache For goodness sake, my heart will break. [Bridge] They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder But I just wander Through these empty rooms, a stranger in a foreign land With no one here to understand. I dream of laughter, of your gentle touch Oh, I miss you oh so much. [Verse] This humble room, it holds my weary soul Trying to make myself whole But every star I see, it points back home No matter where I roam I count the days, I mark the passing time Lost in this lonely climb Just praying for the day I can return And all these bridges burn. [Chorus] Another city, another lonely night Underneath the pale moonlight Got my hands dirty, workin' hard and true But my heart's still back there with you Yeah, this paycheck feels so cold Wish I had your hand to hold Miles away, but I still feel the ache For goodness sake, my heart will break.
