lyrics

Miles Across The Sky

According to Billie, them that's got shall get
them that's not shall lose
So the bible says, and it still is news

According to Nina
I loves my man
Don't let him take me, don't let him handle me
Don't let him drive me mad

But tonight there's just one sound that fits just right
Just one sound that harmonizes and mixes
Grapefruit canyon and lonely coyote

I don't need another solo from John Coltrane
I don't need another slow blue ballad by Chet Baker
Tonight I'm only hearing one sound played from the heart
One note from Miles
Miles across the sky

And according to Gil
It stands out on the highway, like a creature from another time
It inspires the babies' questions to their mothers as they ride

Et les mots de Brigitte
Des asticots dans l'heroine, ca me deguote pour de bon
Dorenevant, je bois du gin
Avec des sorbets aux marrons

Kate was never one for busting through walls
As Tom punches a whole in another night time sky
For Conor, the sun came up with no conclusion
And Yoko, she don't know – she's just doing it

But tonight there's just one sound that fits just right
Just one sound that harmonizes and mixes
Grapefruit canyon and lonely coyote

I don't need another solo by John Coltrane
I don't need another slow blue ballad by Chet Baker
But tonight I'm just hearing one sound played from the heart
One note from Miles
From Miles across the sky
