    This is a slow creeping brooder that ramps nicely into a bittersweet finale while maintaining a pensive lazy loping feel. It can give goosebumps if the conditions are right.

    Story Behind the Song
    Miles was a rare song that was written in one or two quick sittings and remained virtually unchanged from inception to recording. It hardly ever works out like that.

    Lyrics
    The crying telephone the cradle where it stays
    I held it close to burp it's back the country codes are cracked so many numbers tacked
    Are you ever coming back
    The stewards on the plane, in turbulence they walk with grace
    Fumbled corners of snack food tastes
    A dizzy head a boredom break
    Will you always walk the same or does anybody really change? Loosen enlighten up again what it is and what remains must be in the way for you or I to say
    I'm here to stay
    I left every life I knew to put a face on for a while, for to stash into the files of pictures for to keep when we cannot drift to sleep
    Cannot breath in to breath, cannot lay there and grieve, cannot get up to leave
    I've been to pity town, I let the mustangs out
    For the listeners who pay in nodding heads and silent days
    Who pine themselves away, stronger than to let, it hang on every breath, are you feeling better yet?
    I've been to pity town I let the lizards out
    I saw the steeple framed
    I saw the nails be struck
    I heard the bells ring out to let the shouters shout
    I read the tour book page
    I paid the entrance fee
    I thought it spoke to me and so I walked away
    I heard the speakers chant
    I watched them sharpen knives
    Back at the hotel room
    Hummed an electric broom
    That's when I thought of you transfixed by artful walls
    You ran the country down I should have seen it all from miles and miles and miles away
