Over The Rhine Miles lyrics

I wanna be real
Something you can sink your teeth into
I want you to feel all it is that I feel for you
I'm firelight for your seeing hands
Rich perfume for your taste buds

Your eyes are always dark and deep
But we have promises to keep
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go before we sleep

Are you drunk
With the wine of God?
Did your ship wreck
As the tempest tossed you?

You can write your name on the water
It'll drift on out to sea
You can treat me like a daughter
You can write your name on me

Your eyes are always dark and deep
But we have promises to keep
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go before we sleep

We touched a funeral
Drank a parade

We stole a wedding
Melted and prayed

It always hovers just around the bend
We're never quite there but then again
Once a stranger now more than a friend
It all makes me pretty tired

But I suppose that you're still wired
I suppose that you're still wired

Your heart's on mine, beating double time
But we have promises to keep
And miles to go, miles to go
Miles to go before we sleep

And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go

And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go
And miles to go, and miles to go
