The Mile

I had never seen the snow

Never sailed upon the seas

I was busy making plans

To build a fortress in the trees

I'd ride my bicycle

Down the lane and back again

Talking to the birds

And my imaginary friends

And i'd want to run away

Go as far as i could see

But i'd always turn around

To find familiarity

Right where it should be

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

Oh my love

Is there hope for yesterday

Cos them following my heart

And it is taking me away

I am moving on

I do not know where i will go

But i'm beckoned by the sky

In the river down below

I've only got one pair of shoes

Comforting these weary feet

Cos a man who owns too much

Is like a song without a beat

Left feeling incomplete

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

Oh my lord running on the mile
