Swinging Across Miles

(doodly-doo-doo-dah) Five hundred miles and a railway track

You promise me you are on your way back

But every map and every train scheme

Is plotting to ruin our little dream

And then my phone goes dead in the hall

No signal anywhere, no reception at all It's like the universe is

putting us on hold

Every single plan we made turning into mold

Oh,

we try to meet but the times don't match Every ticket we

buy has a hidden catch!

Yeah, we chase the clock and we chase the train Through the

missing connections and the pouring rain!

(sing it baby)

I ran to the station,

sat on the bench But the train had a delay,

a scheduling wrench

And my heel broke off on the platform floor

While you were waiting at the wrong cafe door!

But I won't let the miles win the day

No matter what the train conductors say

(no-no-no-no) Just hold on,

we're almost there

Oh, we try to meet but the times don't match Every ticket

we buy has a hidden catch!

Yeah,

we chase the clock and we chase the train Through the missing

connections and the pouring rain!

(here we go!)

Finally I see you standing there With a crooked smile and messy

hair (we made it)
