Neko Case


So far away
Curses wild upon you 
Hungry and gaining 
Porchlight burns so far away 
Miles away 

Days have gone by and i've barely gone 
Safe on the road that speeds from your front door 
I can't turn around 'cause i long to be forgiven 

It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes 
I thought in the madness my arms could not hold 
I can't tell you why 'cause i long to be forgiven 

So far away
Curses wild upon you 
Hungry and gaining 
Porchlight burns so far away 
Miles away 

I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear 
My heart might be willing by this time next year 
I can't make you wait 'cause i long to be forgiven 

So far away
Curses wild upon you 
Hungry and gaining 
Porchlight burns so far away 
Miles away
