Miles To Go Before We Sleep

Miles to go before we sleep

Miles to go before we sleep
Hope the river don’t get too deep
Could be our story’s incomplete
I’ve heard that stranger things have happened

The road is long so we’ve got time
Never quite shook you off my mind
The way you look, like summertime
You haven’t changed at all

It’s quite a while before you speak
Don’t need to tell you talk is cheap
The look you give me so oblique
As you tilt your head and smile

The puzzle I could not decode
The weight that I could not unload
The reason why I hit the road
My joy, my hope and my undoing

I wore your chain against my heart
Kept my counsel, played my part
Watched you practicing your art
On other fools like me

Now we meet again as friends
You’re at ease and I pretend
Not to even comprehend
All the suffering you caused me

Miles to go
Miles to go
Miles to go before we sleep
Miles to go
Miles to go
Miles to go before we sleep

Peter,

This is excellent... Love the lyrics, vocal and great mix. A very cool dark vibe and undertone to this one - feels very mysterious.

Loved it!

Peter/Leon,

Cool song. As Bob stated "cool dark vibe and undertone". And as Charlie said "..an innovative production".

Loved the outro solo. Great tone on that and nicely played.

Enjoyed.

Peter,

Very good! Lots of dark tension with great lyrics and a nicely dramatic arrangement.
Your solo at the end is outstanding.
I don`t think I`ve heard you sing before - your vocals sound good and suitably moody.

PeterF, man that organ and piano sounded exceptional good in your mix. Really liked the chord changes in the verses. Chimes coming in was a nice touch! Vocal kind of reminded me of a Tom Petty type tune and guitar also was sounding pretty good. Keep rockin' Torrey

Very nice! Love the organ. Like others have said, I can hear a little Tom Petty, as well as David Bowie, and Pink Floyd. Interesting combination, but it works!
