The First Hundred Miles

(jason bennett)
You were standing in the doorway with your tears scattered on the ground. Goodbye has never been this hard and my heart's never been so down. Now the days are dark without you and the sky ain't blue no more. And the sea is an awful gray. I can hear it's pounding roar. And I cried for the first hundred miles. And I cried for a thousand more. And I tried to put it all behind me, but that ain't working anymore. And how I long for your love and the touch of your hand. Without you I just don't feel right. I'm seeing double and I can hardly stand. And I cried for the first hundred miles. I cried for a thousand more. And I tried to put it all behind me. But that ain't working anymore. But I just want you to know that someday we'll be together again. And the sky will return to blue. And our hearts will begin to mend. And I cried for the first hundred miles. And I cried for a thousand more. And I tried to put it all behind me. But that ain't working anymore. No, that ain't working anymore.
