Winger – Miles Away

I first heard this song in 1995, off a rock ballad cassette I bought. This 1990 track is by the American rock band, Winger, to me, their best song. They initially wanted to call the band Sahara, but apparently the name was taken, hence Winger came about. For those of you who know your rock ballads, this one’s for you.

Winger – Miles Away

So this is love or so you tell me
As you’re walking’ out the door
The months go by and I know for certain
It’s not the love I’m looking for
But sometimes just for a moment
I reach out hope you’re still there

Miles away, no, you’re turnin’ back
And I just can’t wait anymore
Miles away, nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away

It’s hard to tell what you’re goin’ through
You kept your feelings locked inside of you
Open your heart and the chances are
What you feel, I’m feelin’ too
If only just for a moment
Hold on to the dreams that we had

When times were tough and you were down and out
Who was there by your side?
But now you’re gone and I’m tired of being alone
With only your promises

The loneliness just fades away
Thoughts of you, just memories
No crying now for what we’re missin’
Time won’t forget what you meant to me

If only just for a moment
Hold on to the dreams that we had
