[English]

When I'm all alone

On a distant path

And my ticket home

Has been torn in half

Oh, I can hear your voice,

girl I can feel your touch

Across the miles tonight

On the road again,

will it always be

That the dream gets changed

on its way to reality

Oh, but the thought of you,

strange how it pulls me through

Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight

Just close your eyes

and hold on tight

And here I am, concentrating girl with all my mind

Now the sound of your laughter

trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by,

cities come and go

When you close your eyes

and listen to the radio

Girl, can you hear my song,

the signal is clear and strong

Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight

Just close your eyes

and hold on tight

And here I am, concentrating girl with all my mind

Now the sound of your laughter

trails off

Across the miles
