Empty Miles

[Verse 1]
The house is breathing slow, the quiet's getting loud
Your picture on the wall is staring at a cloud
You're counting down the shifts out in the northern cold
I'm counting all the nights this story's getting old

[Chorus]
Just a radio signal across the empty miles
Holding on until I get to see you smile

[Verse 2]
I made a pot of coffee just enough for one
And watched another lonely morning get it done
The empty side of the bed is a familiar ache
For all the little promises the distance makes

[Bridge]
They say this kind of living makes the heart grow strong
But I'd trade all the strength for where you belong

[Outro]
One more day is gone
Come on back home
