Long Distance

I cannot shake the feeling that I'm all alone

My mother said "these things, they are quite natural -

"you'll probably settle in, give it a day or two"

But meanwhile I don't know what I'm gonna do

I guess time will tell

My friends all wish me well

I'm ready to begin

But I'm running from something

Long distance

They say that summers here last a week or so

Judging by their count, we don't have long to go

Clouds are rolling in, the sun is far behind

Send me a letter soon - I am standing by

I guess time will tell

My friends all wish me well

I'm ready to begin

But I'm running from something

Long distance

The sentimental blues are the perfect way

For a sentimental guy to get through the lonely day

So easy to get lost, stuck inside my mind

Meanwhile outside my doors, I am losing time

What I know now

You all made it up anyhow

So I'm ready to begin

Yeah, I'm ready for anything

I'm long distance
