New Orleans could not find the groove
|
In Nashville the grass did not seem blue
|
And Denver did not seem more than three feet high
|
The Empire did not scrape the sky
|
And the White House seemed gray
|
When you're 3000 miles away
|
|
In Boston there was no common ground
|
And Long Island did not make a sound
|
Niagara rises and Old Faithful falls
|
At Camden they did not play ball
|
But who cares if they play
|
When you're 3000 miles away
|
|
CHORUS
|
Your absence changes me and everything seems so wrong
|
But with no sense of irony
|
I write you this sweet love song today
|
3000 miles away
|
|
Chicago could not muster a breeze
|
And there was a blizzard in The Keys
|
New England's charms were wasted on these eyes
|
I fear it came as no surprise
|
Because it's just another day
|
When you're 3000 miles away
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Distance is my tutor
|
So well he's teaching me
|
In the education of appreciation
|
And I got my PH.D.
|
|
In Georgia you're all that's on my mind
|
In Cape Cod the ocean was untied
|
And the motor city threw a rod
|
And now I'm praying to you God
|
Take me home to that face
|
3000 miles away
|
