Another Day Away

One Dollar Short

I'm on my way to somewhere / I've never been

somewhere these eyes / have never seen

another winding road / destination unknown

no address / no post code / another day / a little further away

these broken lines will lead me home / but not tonight

another voice at the end of this long distance phone line

a day / a lifetime / however long it takes / for ever is not far enough away



[chorus]

bright lights shine / in virgin eyes

tail lights red / they fade away

this dashboard glow / we'll drive all night

[counter chorus]

another day away / eight days from home

there's so far / so far to go

eight days from home



we'll drive all night / until we can't drive any further

we'll drive all night / until sleep is calling

we'll drive all night / until the new day sunrise



I'm leaving home again / when I'll come back / I can't say for certain

I'll take my pen / I'll write when I can / thats a promise

My bags are packed / my toothbrush / a photograph / postcards / an august notion

My favourite T-shirt

This distance travelled / I'm miles from home / miles from what I know

Theres still so far to go



[chorus]

bright lights shine / in virgin eyes

tail lights red / they fade away

this dashboard glow / we'll drive all night

[counter chorus]

another day away / eight days from home

there's so far / so far to go

eight days from home



Forever it seems / won't be long enough



[outro]

Another day away / eight days from home
