I hold my baby and think about lately
I've found out I'll have to move 3,000 miles
It feels so tragic to give up on magic
I had to choose, what's good for me is not for you

Who can appease me and my empty arms?
I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far

I thought maybe my sweet baby would last a little longer than the rest of them
Shows what I know, I called you my home much too quickly
Now I'm left alone and say

Who can appease me and my empty arms?
I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far

3,000 miles rips me away from my sweet love every day
The 3,000 miles makes me alone, I feel so sick in my old home
The 3,000 miles is far and wide, long and deep, and oh so dry
The 3,000 miles makes me alone, I miss my love to my bones

Who can appease me and my empty arms?
I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far
