A mile away
A MILE AWAY
I fell a man who lived just a mile away
No, A MILE AWAY
Holding arm in his arms
I fell for a man, who smiled at me through field glasses,
with his pearl-blue eyes
On a sunny day
I fell for a man whose a-mile-away house
I burnt over a decree from an unknown
On a gloomy day
Then again,
I fell for a man with a 1000-yard stare across the fence.
