One Thousand Miles From Texas


Listen Later

This is an insight into an old timers experience as he sits alone in a bar in Texas. He recognisnes that with age he feels more and more distant from the man he once was. He is becoming more forgetful saying that he feels "one thousand miles from Texas with snow falling in my mind". He would also like to see "the sunrise on a Texas Sunday morning", the way he remembered it from so many years ago.

Lyrics:
Someday when you are old and grey
Maybe you will feel the same
as the light shines dimly on the
Grainy windows and dusty floors of the bar
One man sits beside his drink
Looks up and gives friendly wink
As the light shines dimly on his face. You can see
he’s been to places near and far.
He said I’m one thousand miles from Texas
With snow falling in my mind
One thousand miles from Texas
It’s all down to women and wine
I wanna see the sunrise on a Texas morning
See the sunrise on a Texas Sunday morning.
Falling through the age of man
Life ends where it all began
Where a light can shine brightly in the hardest heart
And reaches the centre of the soul
One man sits alone and stares
Looks back at all his love affairs
And he smiles to himself no point in trying
To dig deeper in a hole.
He said I’m one thousand miles from Texas
With snow falling in my mind
One thousand miles from Texas
It’s all down to women and wine
I wanna see the sunrise on a Texas morning
see the sunrise on a Texas morning
See the sunrise on a Texas Sunday morning.
Outro:
I wanna see the sunrise on a Texas morning
See the sunrise on a Texas Sunday morning.
I wanna see the sunrise on a Texas morning
See the sunrise on a Texas Sunday morning.
