Miles & Miles

This is the new song I wrote this morning...couldn't remember all the words because they were so fresh! First song I've written in awhile...

saw you standing at the door
there, where you were once before
wrapped around a coil or two
recognized that it was you
by and by, by and by
the apple of your eye gone away
here to stay
holding on to what?
miles and miles before you go

everything you held within
cut the cord and pierce the skin
takes her with you when you go
daffodils and downy snow
by and by, by and by
old as smoke and mirrors
get in line, out of line
close and getting nearer
with miles and miles before you go

the rest of it
the best of it
send it to me when i sleep
for everything you gave away
this is one you get to keep
by and by
gone in smoke and mirrors
get in line, adeline
close and getting nearer
with miles and miles before you go
miles and miles and miles and miles
before you go
