End Of Miles Lyrics - Frank Black And The Catholics

At the end of miles 

You stare out at the ocean 

Mountains at your back 

You think you've tamed 

At the end of miles you hope 

Youll soon be back in motion 

But you're never going back 

From where you came 

A little peace at last 

Yes, I thought that I would stay just for a while 

Now a shadow cast 

Is all what's left of this wanderer's profile 

But still I have survived 

And I know I have arrived 

Here at the end of miles 

I lost it all back east 

I sold my El Dorado 

A stranger helped me 

When I was thirstiest 

For some the end of miles 

Is Denver Colorado 

But something always 

Kept me moving west 

I'm lately out of reach 

In towns along the California shore 

I'm leathery and bleached 

I'm lost and I am lonesome to the core 

I've got nowhere left to go 

But I'm satisfied to know 

Therell be miles never more
