3 Hours Away - Blue Rodeo

Can’t get used to what you told me

You said better brace yourself

There’s changes coming in

I wake up to a brand-new story

Stop the clock that’s ticking on the shelf

Then let it all begin

Now I know that I’m right here where I was before

Chasing all my ghosts around

Maybe I worry what I will say

Now I’m only three hours away

Living in between the pages

Watching the strangers come and go

Just life that’s passing by

It all keeps coming down in stages

Only hurts the ones you know

No matter what you try

Oh, and now I know that I’m right here where I was before

Chasing the songs from town to town

Maybe I worry what I will say

Now I’m only three hours away

Some things aren’t meant to last

Like a day that burns up fast

Turn away and then it’s gone

Sun comes up the red sky morning

I pray that the trouble all has passed

Just something that I dreamed

I must have missed all of your warnings

I guess we played too fast

Much closer than it seemed

Oh, and now I know that I’m right here where I was before

Making all my plans alone

Maybe I worry what I will say

Now I’m only three hours away

Maybe I worry what I will say

Now I’m only three hours away
