Text: Tift Merritt. Another Country. Keep You Happy.

The sky is turning and longing for something far away.
The moon?s a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away.
Miles running down a face,
Everything?s bound to change,
It?s bound to change.

Day breaks of tenderness,
So hold me here like this,
So still and quiet as if it might
Keep you happy.

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay.
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away.
Close gets so far away,
Close gets so far.

Day breaks of loneliness.
I?d weather all of this
If I could find a place where I?d
Keep you happy.

Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you, I was just trying to hold you.

Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay.
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away.
See how they fly away,
See how they fly.
