Kathryn Cloward - 500 Miles lyrics

I woke up at 4am Knowing what I needed to do I had to find out if there was still hope Or if we were through Headed north bound to San Francisco As the sun rose from the east Carried on wheels of hope Seeking love and peace But as the miles stretched on for hours It became clear to me That sometimes being courageous Borders on being crazy I drove 500 miles On a pilgrimage of hope Hoping to salvage what was left of us Before coming back home But I never got to see you Or hear your voice again And I had to accept that sometimes things Just come to an end I drove 500 miles On a pilgrimage of hope 'Cuz I realize that love can only grow Where energy flows But the messages in the miles Helped me know That sometimes the only place to drive Is straight back home You silence said everything And you wouldn't give me time I risked it all for love Even though it broke this heart of mine I gathered up all my strength And put the tissues away Then I turned my car around And drove home the very next day As the miles stretched on for hours I let my angels lead the way 'Cuz sometimes the only way to heal Is to surrender and pray I drove 500 miles On a pilgrimage of hope Hoping to salvage what was left of us Before coming back home But I never got to see you Or hear your voice again And I had to accept that sometimes things Just come to an end I drove 500 miles On a pilgrimage of hope 'Cuz I realize that love can only grow Where energy flows But the messages in the miles Helped me know That sometimes the only place to drive Is straight back home I drove 500 miles on a pilgrimage of hope
