The Mile - Stu Larsen

I had never seen the snow

Never sailed upon the seas

I was busy making plans

To build a fortress in the trees

I'd ride my bicycle

Down the lane and back again

Talking to the birds

And my imaginary friends

And I'd want to run away

Go as far as I could see

But I'd always turn around

To find familiarity

Right where it should be

I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And oh my love

Is there hope for yesterday

Because I'm following my heart

And it's taking me away

I am moving on

I do not know where I will go

But I'm beckoned by the sky

In the river down below

I've only got one pair of shoes

Comforting these weary feet

'Cause a man who owns too much

Is like a song without a beat

Left feeling incomplete

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

And I'll be gone running on the mile

I'll be gone running on the mile

Oh my Lord running on the mile
