Between the city and the one
Before the teacher and the test
Before the journey and the rest

A shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
A house on fire knows no shame
I will be coming home again

Four thousand miles
Without a word until you smile
Four thousand miles
On fields of fire

Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and his toy

Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and his toy
Before the falling of the west
Before the journey and the rest

Four thousand miles
Without a word until you smile
Four thousand miles
Without a word until you smile
Four thousand miles
On fields of fire
