Miles and Miles

Music by Felix Hagan, Lyrics by P Burton-Morgan,UK

When I was three 
It was just me and my mum
We lived above the hum drum thrum of everyone, 
Up in the canopy  
And all that green, we’d watch it sway
We'd see the world play out below us
Such wonders it would show us

And we’d see for miles and miles, 
Miles and miles
An endless sea of green for miles

We see them coming 
In their vehicles 
Like giant neon termites, armoured 
Screaming in the night 
Their headlights bright 
All the burning leaves
The screaming trees 
Well how was it worth it? 

Now all I see is dust for miles and miles 
Miles and miles
Now all I see is dust for miles

That time we get away
I feel the branches sway 
Carried by those arms so strong
I don't know how she does it
Hanging on 
And desperately we’re running for cover
Blinking back tears we flee
She tries so hard to get us far away 
She tries so hard
She tries so hard 

She walks for miles and miles 
Miles and miles 
She walks and walks for miles

They come again 
Those men in yellow hats 
Until the earth is burnt and bare and flat 
There’s nothing left
There’s nowhere left for us
So we keep on climbing 

And the world it seems so slow
As I let go of her
And clutch a branch
I see her falling
She’s calling out for me
She is falling
(Spoken) I didn’t stop her 

Now I’m always falling 
For miles and miles 
Miles and miles 
I fall and fall 
(Spoken) for miles
