10,000 Miles Lyrics
Artist: Mary Chapin Carpenter
Album: Party Doll & Other Favorites
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
Im going away
But Ill be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh dont you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
Shes weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
Youve been a friend to me

Fly Away Home!!!! Great movie! This song gives me chills it's gorgeous!!
Wow this brings alot of memorys from when we owend airplanes in florida. i remember watching it with family in Sky Ranch. I miss Flying.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It sounds so lonely but it's so beautiful at the same time.
I love Mary's voice and her guitar picking. She makes it feel like it's just her and a few friends.
This song is just beautiful. I can relate so much to this song, and it is incredible. The lyrics will forever mean a lot to me,
Does anyone know the origin of this song? M.C.C. did not write it. On the album and sheet music she credits the words and music as "Traditional", meaning it is a folk song. I had never heard this song before, and I know many folk songs. I would like to know more about this song, so if anyone has researhed it and has info as to it's origin, please post.
Thanks-JLH
James, I wish I could help with the origin. This is one of the most heart stoppingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. Together with the scene in which it is played in the movie "Fly Away Home" the full force of its beauty and sadness hit you.
i dont know any thing alse but.. dis song is a song which i can relate to my own life it tells bout me.. love dis song.. just simply love it..
I love this song. It's so peaceful and the music is beautiful. I remember hearing it for the first time on the movie, "Fly Away Home." I watched that movie again yesterday and heard the song again and realized I needed to download it to my iPod. :)
what is the history from where '10,000 miles' birth
This was a good song. I put the movie on audio tape, so you can hear the movie and song together!
Wow! such a powerfull song, beautiful.
Everytime I hear this song, I want to fly! This song speaks to me, it is so beautiful and bittersweet.
I know this sounds crazy but I've asked for it to be played at my funeral
This song is obviously derived from My love is like a red,red rose by Robert Burns
We played this song at my fathers funeral, it really expressed how we all felt. It was a beautiful sentiment
I heard this song on "Fly away Home" and it truly touched me, so much so that I want it to be my wish to play it at the time of my death. My children and my ex-husband has committed to doing that for me.
does anyone know if you can purchase this song on a CD? if yes, what is the name of the CD? thanks, pls. send reply to schmerr@choice.net
This song was discovered for me and my losses when i watched "Fly Away Home" Good choice accompanyment for story, music, heart and healing..hope comes in gentle ways
The movie "Fly Away Home" came out the year my mother passed away. This song hit me where in the movie the dad tells her "she can do it, because her mother was there in her heart". Each year as the geese would start their journey south, I remember my mom standing outside and she would look up in the sky and say as the geese flew over " take me with you". This song reminds me of those moments of my mom and her peaceful journey.
