Lyrics
You were standing in the doorway
With your tears scattered on the ground
Goodbye has never been this hard
And my heart has never been so down
And now the days are dark without you
And the sky ain't blue no more
And the sea is an awful gray
I can hear its pounding roar
Chorus
And I cried for the first hundred miles
And I cried for a thousand more
And I tried to put it all behind me
But that ain't working anymore
And how I long for your love
And the touch of your hand
Without you I just don't feel right
I'm seeing double and I can hardly stand
Chorus
And I cried for the first hundred miles
And I cried for a thousand more
And I tried to put it all behind me
But that ain't working anymore
Instrumental Break
But I just want you to know
That someday we'll be together again
And the sky will return to blue
And our hearts will begin to mend
Chorus
And I cried for the first hundred miles
And I cried for a thousand more
And I tried to put it all behind me
But that ain't working anymore
And I cried for the first hundred miles
And I cried for a thousand more
And I tried to put it all behind me
But that ain't working anymore
No, that ain't working anymore
No, that ain't working anymore.
