Between Distant Skies

The highway stretches past the county line

And every mile marker tells me you're not mine

I watch the static on the radio dial

Just wishing I could see your quiet smile

Your letters sit beside my unmade bed

Repeated words spinning through my head

Two thousand miles of cold and empty space

And nothing here can ever take your place

Oh I am holding onto half a heart tonight

Screaming out your name into the fading light

The distance is a heavy weight to

bear

I close my eyes and pray you'll meet me there

The winters are much colder in this town

Without your laughter here to warm it down

I keep the porch light burning through the black

Just hoping that the road will bring you back

Oh I am holding onto half a heart tonight

Screaming out your name into the fading light

The distance is a heavy weight to bear

I close my eyes and pray you'll meet me

there

Oh I close my eyes And you are there
