about

Leaving is so much easier said than done…but what would it be like to finally up and leave a partnership or marriage that was breaking you? Throughout history, the ability for a woman to do this and make her own choices has been made difficult and often times, impossible. That’s why many women have inspired this story, some I have known and others before me.

lyrics

1000 Miles From A Dream

The night is finally still
against her pounding heart
She closes the gate
disappears into the dark
Lines he crossed
she hides with makeup and lace
By the dawn she’ll be gone
no trace

Coins in her pocket jangle
enough to make the train
hair in a hurried tangle
arrangements set in place
Cold trigger by her side
and the moon on her wing
For all the troubled nights she cried
now she sings

“1000 miles from a dream, 1000 miles, 1000 miles from a dream”

Doubts compete with each footstep
contesting in her mind
Hope has been a fickle friend
whom she can’t rely
But heaven and hell
is such a fine line
A final chance
to cross the divide

“1000 miles from a dream, 1000 miles, 1000 miles from a dream”

She rests her head upon the glass
in an empty car
The town she’s left behind dissolves
in to the stars
Closes her eyes
and slowly drifts away
The driving words
In her head play

“1000 miles from a dream, 1000 miles, 1000 miles from a dream”
“1000 miles from a dream, 1000 miles, 1000 miles from a dream”
