Lyrics

Miles Away/The Truth Is

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

It's one of those conversations

We've... we've had them before

The ones that leave you empty

And wanting for more

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Your eyes they tell me something

That I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth

And the truth is

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Excuse me for my hesitation

I've... I met you before

Your face seems so familiar

And longing for more

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Your eyes they tell me something

That I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth

And a truth is

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

With all your superstitions

And empty lines

I could be just like you

Withdrawn but alive

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

Life it has its limitations

We all have our needs

Love could be the only answer

It lies underneath

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Your eyes they tell me something

That I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth

And a truth is

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

You're miles away

(Woo... Hyah...)

(You're miles away)

You're miles away

You're miles away
