Staring at empty bottles
And cigarette smoke smoke fills the air
Photos laid out beside me
Of all the adventures we shared
The sun sets late here in England
Miles away from where you are
I count the stars up above my head
And it doesn't seem so far
9000 miles is not long a distance
We definitely need mathematical assistance
9000 miles is nothing for you and me
It's written in the stars it's meant to be
She wakes up rather early
To say hello before I sleep
It breaks her heart to watch me close my eyes
Makes me never want to leave
If I could go without sleeping
I'd never have to dream again
I'd never close my eyes and never have to make her cry
By saying goodnight my friend
9000 miles is not long a distance
We definitely need mathematical assistance
9000 miles is nothing for you and me
It's written in the stars it's meant to be
And so I think on the memories
And try to fight off all the tears
But I know that one day we'll grow old
And love each other threw the years
9000 miles is not long a distance
We definitely need mathematical assistance
9000 miles is nothing for you and me
It's written in the stars it's meant to be
