A Million Miles Away Lyrics - Singles - Rainmakers

(B. Walkenhorst) 

There was a man named Jim who walked everywhere he went 

Cause he could never quite seem to keep his mind on the road 

One day it occurred to Jim that he'd taken a wrong turn 

Cause he was standing in a place he didn't know 

Jim spun on his heels thinking he's backtrack for a while 

But before he knew it the sun was sinking 

And the landscape in the dark 

Well, it could have been New Zealand or New York or New Mexico 

So what else is new, Jim was thinking 

Because see for a while now Jim felt like things were changing for him 

Like the skin of the earth was stretching or the continents were adrift 

Jim didn't know if it was so or if it was just him although 

He suspected that it was a bit of both he was dealing with 

And I feel like I'm tripping 

And I feel my steps slipping today 

Feel the winds of time whipping my coat around my legs 

And I feel about a million miles away 

Dawn broke, Jim awoke, he'd been sleeping on his feet 

It was morning now but a densely foggy day 

Jim decided he'd just sit and wait for the fog to lift 

But when it didn't he started up again anyway 

Man, this is like the blind leading the blind, Jim thought 

About that time down the road came this seeing-eye dog 

It was well-fed and had a collar but no matter how loud Jim hollered 

There wasn't any answer, so he walked on through the fog 

Alright, I'm lost, Jim said aloud although a bit begrudgingly 

Like things might change in light of this confession 

He was both amazed and sour that at this late date and hour 

He might find himself in this situation 

CHORUS 

After walking through the haze for another night and another day 

Jim seemed to simply cease to exist 

All his panic, hope, and thoughts broke up into small dots 

As he gave himself away into the mist 

Back in town where Jim lived, sad to say he was never missed 

And his name was never spoken again, it's awful but true 

Out my window at night I think I see Jim standing in the half-light 

Saying hurry up, suffering's got a job to do 

CHORUS
