A Thousand Miles

Vanessa Carlton

Cloudtail X Brightheart

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass
And I'm homebound

Cloudpaw bounced over to Brightpaw. "I'm back!" he mewed excitedly. "What happened? We thought we had lost you," she said quietly, pressing her nose into his flank. "The Twolegs took me away, but I'm back now."


Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way, making a wave
Through the crowd

Cloudtail, a new warrior, sat on the cold ground, sitting vigil for his warrior ceremony.


And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

"Will she make it, Cinderpelt?" Cloudtail meowed worriedly, licking Brightpaw's wounded face. "I don't know, Cloudtail. I don't know," Cinderpelt's voice was equally troubled. Cloudtail burst out in anger, "This is all Bluestar's fault! If Brightpaw had been made a warrior, this never would have happened!"

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

"Pack, Pack! Kill, Kill!"

It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
Cuz everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

"Lostface!" spat Cloudtail, "Such a horrible name. When you get better, Brightpaw, we'll make sure Bluestar gives you a better name."


Cuz I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

"Lostface. Come forward. It's time you receive a better a name," Firestar mewed, purring all the while.

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Oh, cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

"Thank StarClan you're alive, Brightheart. I've missed you," Cloudtail purred. "So have I," Brightheart said, digging her head into his chest.

I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't ...

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way, making a wave
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

"Cloudtail, I'm going to have your kits!" "That's great," Cloudtail mewed, purring loudly.

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...

If I could just hold you tonight
