1000 Miles

<p>the sun beats hot on the roof the air stands still in my room the city's slow on the move today</p><p>so pour yourself a glass of something cold and sweet water the flowers in the yard for me listen to your records in the dark and think of us</p><p>1000 miles don't seem like much</p><p>six flights up from the ground six flights up to heat-thick clouds the thunder rolls and the rain comes down</p><p>open the windows and the doors open the house up to the storm hold her close and think of us</p><p>1000 miles don't seem like much</p><p>so here I am and here I'll be six flights up and waiting</p><p>by my window i see car wheels turn on the road down avenues and highways home</p>
