John Smith - Milestones Lyrics

I went free and of my own accord
Might as well have been another world
I left behind my darling one
As she began to walk all on her own
I watched her first steps on a video
In some distant dressing room

I decided as the curtain went
It was either give up there and then
Or keep on going
I went out and did the best I could
Trade a milestone for a piece of wood
And keep on going

Oh I'll save as much as I can
And keep dreaming of a piece of land
In some bright corner of England
It'll come together come what may
If I make it work it's bound to pay
We're not just dreaming of living

All of the time
In all of the places
Our love fills the distances
See you in the faces
Of everyone I meet
So again you help me onto my feet

I'll keep working on the mighty road
If I can write the words
I'll let you know
Just how much I love you
