40 bleeding miles distant

Where am i now where have i been i'm just so far away
Beyond the horizon of the word that's where they've taken me
Big stranger's hands destroyed in one time everything of my own
They placed the sea between me and my past so i can't come back no more

Now that i've got nothing to lose
Road take my hand and lead me...

Miles and miles of wind and sun dried tears on my face
Salt burns the skin as i bite the bitter of memories
I wish i could remember how it was the taste of my mother's breast
But sometimes i feel just like a stray cat and can't change the fact

Now that i've got nothing to lose
Road take my hand and lead me...

Chorus:
Maybe someday i will forget
Maybe someday i will forgive
Maybe someday i'll understand my home is all inside of me
Maybe someday i will forget
Maybe someday i will forgive
But now it's so hard for me to feel that everything i had is...

I sleep on sidewalks made of anger bed of broken glass
I sell myself to the best bidder like the worst slut
I wish i was somebody else just not to be in this place
But 40 bleeding miles are the greatness of my disgrace

Now that i've got nothing to lose
Road take my hand and lead me
To somewhere else where i can't feel
The pain

Earth tonight
Sings lullabies
For every man alone
Too far from home

Chorus

Lost...
Forever...
Lost...
Forever...

Maybe someday i'll understand you cannot take me away from me
Away from me
