The Innocence Mission

Lyrics

A Thousand Miles

My soles catch dogwood petals

I don't know who lives here

Where people are walking to a birthday

I am just passing by

This boy who sits in sadness

Beside me in the traffic

He is turning, farther and farther

I go straight, into town

La la la la la

La la la la la

A thousand miles near

A thousand miles far

A thousand miles away

Oh I want to be like Sister Margaret Edmond

Whose life connects with so many in this city

I am inside my door

Some fellow misunderstood me

I thought I'd spoken clearly

Living rooms are such a long way

For words to travel alone

La la la la la

La la la la la

A thousand miles near

A thousand miles far

A thousand miles away
