Too Many Miles

"Distant Lover, Lover
Ooh ,So many miles away ooh heaven knows that I long for you
Every night,every night and sometimes i yearn through the day."

Yeah you had to leave with my heart barren like the Mojave Desert
so I thirst for that sweet rain
Drench me in your charms and kisses
come soothe this ever constant pain

Does my man Carlos need to break it down some more
the avenue of broken dreams chalked up another hit
Getting so good with us foolish lovers
all of the scares may not fit
tell the people:

"When you walked out the door, baby
Thought I would die, I didn't realize
Oh, you were the brightest star up in the sky, yeah
Now that you're gone, oh how I miss you so
Please come back to me, I need your love, baby
Ever so more"

From the fragrance in your hair to the smile on the face
you gave cool to a hot day yet warmed my night
As we approach this season of giving
one wish for me, you in my sight

I tried to replace the essence of you
looked and high and low in this land
Only solace was a temporary oblivion in wine
for no substitute has your unique command

"I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is you to make love to me"
