sometimes I wake up in a dream
the prettiest face I’ve ever seen
wise and serene
smiling right at me
then I dream I’m wide awake
each part of me quivers and shakes
and every corner of my mind is clear
I finally stop wondering why I’m here
miles away….
excuse me, I was miles away….
you sip your drink and your voice gets brittle
you start spraying me with doggerel and spittle
trying to tell me about someone I don’t know
from a place I’m never going to go
I know you love me that I can feel
you sure deserve a better deal
you’ve done everything you can more
I wonder what it is you’re waiting for
while I’m….miles away…
excuse me, I was miles away….
I try to stay in the here and now
keep my mind from wandering somehow
pay attention to whats going on
one slip and I’m gone
I want to focus on what I’m doing
the birds are singing, the cows are mooing
clouds are drifting, the wind is blowing
I start to stop…then I keep on going
till I’m…..miles away
excuse me, I was miles away….
The lead singer of the Spin Doctors is an excellent writer, I like this band a lot, and Eric Ambel who produced the record is a proven master George Breakfast
Joe is one of the most talented people I know. I am proud to call him my friend, and if you are not familiar with his work yet, its time you were! George Breakfast
