VERSE 1Did you ever feel sad and blue,Longing for those who long for you?Wanderers never find rest,Away from the ones they love best. CHORUSYou’re a million miles from nowhere,When you’re one little mile from home;It’s the song of mother’s tears,That keeps ringing in your ears.You just leave the gates of Heaven,When you leave mother’s arms to roam;You’re a million miles from nowhere,When you’re one little mile from home.You’re a home. VERSE 2At the end of each lonely lane,There’s a mother who waits in vain;When ev’ry door closes too,Her arms will be open to you. CHORU
