3,000 Miles From Here Lyrics by Ian Hunter
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Fare thee well, gentle maid
I'll see you on your way
And the sun will rise tomorrow
And wash my sins away
For I know that I've abused you
But I only had a day
And I know that's why you left me
In your own sad little way

I am gone, disappeared
But I hear a young dove crying
Three thousand miles from here

Some would say you were a loser
'Cause you play a loser's game
But then if I am a winner
Why then am I so ashamed?
If you hear a young dove crying
You'll know it's me to blame
For I never got her number
I never knew her name

Now she's gone, disappeared
But I hear a young dove crying
Three thousand miles from here
Fare thee well, gentle maid   I'll see you on your way   And the sun will rise tomorrow   And wash my sins away   For I know that I've abused you   But I only had a day   And I know that's why you left me   In your own sad little way      I am gone, disappeared   But I hear a young dove crying   Three thousand miles from here      Some would say you were a loser   'Cause you play a loser's game   But then if I am a winner   Why then am I so ashamed?   If you hear a young dove crying   You'll know it's me to blame   For I never got her number   I never knew her name      Now she's gone, disappeared   But I hear a young dove crying   Three thousand miles from here
