10 miles Lyrics

Baby's running on his own

Ten miles down by the coast

Says he's got a plan to make it this time

He just got out last week

Oh I don't know how to see

A split-shot image of the way

We used to be down by the bay, I'd say

Hey boy, come on over

Sing your blues to the night, I'll gather

Shells and glass for Poseidon's crown, yeah

Hey boy, I start to wonder

Why are you here, why do I bother

Sing your blues another night

A thousand miles down the seaside

Watching out my window

As the sky turns to night

All the passing faces

Know the look in their eyes

Nine to five for fifty more, they say,

"What's another week, another day?"

Another way to make them pay

For the mistakes that they made yesterday

Hey boy, come on over

Sing your blues to the night, I'll gather

Shells and glass for Poseidon's crown, yeah

Hey boy, I start to wonder

Why are you here, why do I bother

Sing your blues another night

A thousand miles down the seaside

Run away to the land of old

The land I'm from, where it's dark and cold

Sit on the beach at night

Haven't spoken in a long, long time

It all fell through just like I said

Now you've gone and did it, and you would've fled

And hell who knows, you still just might

I'm done trying, but I'll keep on a porch light

Hey boy, come on over

Sing your blues to the night, I'll gather

Shells and glass for Poseidon's crown, yeah

Hey boy, I start to wonder

Why are you here, why do I bother

Sing your blues another night

A thousand miles down the seaside
