Daily Planet - 3000 Miles Away lyrics

rate me

New Orleans could not find the groove

In Nashville the grass did not seem blue

And Denver did not seem more than three feet high

The Empire did not scrape the sky

And the White House seemed gray

When you're 3000 miles away

In Boston there was no common ground

And Long Island did not make a sound

Niagara rises and Old Faithful falls

At Camden they did not play ball

But who cares if they play

When you're 3000 miles away

CHORUS

Your absence changes me and everything seems so wrong

But with no sense of irony

I write you this sweet love song today

3000 miles away

Chicago could not muster a breeze

And there was a blizzard in The Keys

New England's charms were wasted on these eyes

I fear it came as no surprise

Because it's just another day

When you're 3000 miles away

REPEAT CHORUS

Distance is my tutor

So well he's teaching me

In the education of appreciation

And I got my PH.D.

In Georgia you're all that's on my mind

In Cape Cod the ocean was untied

And the motor city threw a rod

And now I'm praying to you God

Take me home to that face

3000 miles away
