{Written as a 70’s rock ballad}

Woke up walking the dream of a make believe Messiah
Fed loving words of passion and yellow papayas
I stand here miles away all alone…alone in fear
That my life will stumble to the inevitable falter
Of admiration that only you can lavish
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Dreaming the dream atop your rose colored altar

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
You sing so sweet across the desolate plains
Of a heart trespassed and bound in chains
Your breath lifts me upon Heaven’s pedestal
A skyscraper of love with no place to go
But spiraling down… down… oh so far down
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow

Your eyes shine so bright just for me
Lighting a path that I wish to one day see
Your smile strolls across my barren soul
Warming a place I forgot lay deep within
Your soothing touch reaches through time and space
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Lifting me to where the angels play gilded violins

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
You sing so sweet across the desolate plains
Of a heart trespassed and bound in chains
Your breath lifts me upon Heaven’s pedestal
A skyscraper of love with no place to go
But spiraling down… down… oh so far down
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow
(I stand here miles away all alone)
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow
Where broken dreams of a simple man flow
[Fades]
