Six Decrees of Separation

seven weeks ago, cupped open and filled deep
with silver, my hands,
let you reach in and take the coins that you would need
fare demands
and seven weeks ago, cupped open and filled deep
with silver, the sands,let you reach out and take its ship across the sea
to other land
sit doesn’t matter when or how or why
you left me standing herethere is nothing to repay
it doesn’t matter where or what or who
that ship has brought you to
I’ll still love you all the same
I hear rumors that you may have fallen in
with a bad crowd
I pray that even if you do go overboard
you won’t drown
it doesn’t matter what or who or where
you are while you’re out thereI’ll still love you any way
it doesn’t matter when or how or why
that ship brings you back here
just as long as you’re okay
slow down you’re movingmoving too fast
these things you think you wantthey won’t last

people say that I’m a fool to still believe
you’ll ever say when
but every day I go down to the pier to see what the ship’s dragged in
it doesn’t matter when or how or why
you ever come back home
I’ll be waiting every day
it doesn’t matter what or who or where the ship has brought you from
or if you will always stay‘til then I’m holding
holding fast
these things you think you want
they will pass
seven months from now, arms opened like the sea,
I’ll be here

Karl Miles Batavia, Illinois

I have finished recording my latest Catholic studio album "Where are the Warriors" an album which is a call to Catholic's to live our faith to its fullest meaning...we are called to be saints.

God's truth and love concurs all evil, but people must be able to feel and see this love in us. It is my hope, truth and love is heard in my music. ... more
