about
As the crow flies, it is a shade under ten thousand miles from the town of Malvern in England to the city of Cairns in Australia. The time difference is ten hours (in the UK winter) and thoughts of those left behind in “Blighty” will fill your mind at some point, every single day.
But there is a job to be done in that great Southern land; a seven year mission to complete. Going back to England is not an option; this is your new home.
Nevertheless, the sad goodbyes at the departure gate at London Heathrow after each journey home become harder to endure and no matter how steely your resolve may be, the emotional pull of home, Ten Thousand Miles away, always remains in your heart.
lyrics
Ten Thousand Miles
The street lights on the port side
Fade away and flicker out of sight.
Into the inky darkness,
As I soar away into the black of night.
A sad farewell at the departure gate
And now I’m on my own.
A pang of pain in my heart to let me know
I’m travelling ten thousand miles from home.
The “angel” of the cabin
Flits from seat to seat and row to row.
Her reassuring smile,
Helps to heal the pain that just won’t let me go.
Please cut me loose, I need to free my mind
I’m here on my own.
I’m so confused; I fall into a troubled sleep
I’m travelling ten thousand miles from home?
Always steadfast in my mission,
Resolute and my aims were always true.
But the dream became a nightmare
And now it’s just a thing I have to do.
In a tourist town, in a foreign land,
I’ve got to make it on my own.
Too much to lose, I need to see this through
I’m travelling ten thousand miles from home.

Stompin' on Spiders is a musical collective formed at a Blues festival in April 2009. The band's stripped-back acoustic
