Dokken - 1000 Miles Away Lyrics






[Dokken, Norum]

Just like sand running through my hands
We tried to hold love but it just slipped away
Was I so wrong to keep you holding on
Hoping someday tgat we wiykd fubd a way...to make love stay

[CHORUS:]
There's nothing left to say
As I send these words a thousand miles away
Still holding on to the memories
Lost in your heart, blinded by love, you said
If we had known, we could have found a way
Is it too late to bring you back to me again.

[CHORUS]
[SOLO]
[BRIDGE]

Lost in our hearts
We'll be forever yearning
Tears in our eyes
Atart to fall, just like rain
Only for you

[CHORUS OUT]

Dokken 1000 Miles Away Comments
  1. M.... S....

    Funny because this album sounds like classic Dokken without George Lynch. Don Dokken is truly the source of the classic Dokken sound. Although nothing will ever top the legend that is the classic Dokken lineup.

    Don and the other members of Dokken have brought me much listening pleasure in my life. For that I thank them. Long live George Lynch. The best rock n roll guitarist in history.’

    Who play piano/keyboard on the album?

  7. M.... ....

    Great album, but I feel lead vocals are just too low in the mix.

  8. r.... r....

    Great album period. Dokken is one of my all time favourite

  9. S.... M....

    John. Norum.

  10. M.... K....

    Dokken! Love it! Beautiful song!

  11. M.... ....

    Saw them on this tour at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. Great band. Billy white and John Norum are great players. The whole band basically, but they tore it up!

  12. S.... A....

    ...one of rock's iconic songs that would stand the test of time at least 1000 years to come.

    1000 Miles Away


    Just like sand running through my hands
    We tried to hold love but it just slipped away
    Was I so wrong to keep you holding on
    Hoping someday that we would find a way... to make love stay
    There's nothing left to say
    As I send these words a thousand miles away
    Still holding on to the memories
    Lost in your heart, blinded by love, you said
    If we had known, we could have found a way
    Is it too late to bring you back to me, to me again
    There's nothing left to say
    As I send these words a thousand miles away
    Still holding on to the memories
    Lost in your heart, blinded by love, you said
    If we had known, we could have found a way
    Is it too late to bring you back to me, to me again
    SOLO
    Lost in our hearts
    We'll be forever yearning
    Tears in our eyes
    Start to fall, just like rain
    Only for you
    There's nothing left to say
    As I send these words a thousand miles away
    Still holding on to the memories
    Lost in your heart, blinded by love, you said
    If we had known, we could have found a way
    Is it too late to bring you back to me, to me again
    Songwriters: DOKKEN DON \m/ AWESOME NUMBER!

  14. M.... A....

    Great tune!. Highly improved, not long after this release, on John Norum´s "Face the truth" album´s song "Counting on your love", sung by the great Glenn Hughes!

  15. D.... M....

    Masterpiece!!! Totally under-appreciated album, it's stellar. A must have.

  16. M.... M....

    whoever had the idea with that clean part after the intro is, well, a genius

  17. A.... I....

    To die for it, i <3 it. =))

  18. A.... I....

    With AS ya just lost yer life in Finland. Everything else is so much bigger that get ya back to the real life & communication. We're just not wanted here, in land of this confusion..!

  19. d.... ....

    If you hear this and like this song, go ahead and buy the album. You won't be sorry.

    C.... ....

    Czarnelwy Why are you saying 666 Mark of the Beast?

    C.... ....

    @Rayne Kimi 1. 666 is not the mark of the best that's a common misconception by people who've never actually read the bible. 2. the number is 616

    C.... ....

    @spartan squid
    Here is wisdom
    Let him that hath understanding
    count the number of the beast:
    For it is the number of a man:
    And his number is six hundred threescore and six
    Revelation 13:18

  40. N.... S....

    dedicated to my beautiful wife

  41. T.... G....

    One of the best hard rock songs of all time. Vocals, back vocals, guitars, drums, lyrics, every ingredient is at the right amount, right flavor.

  42. D.... M....

    Why is this album not avail on itunes.....

    D.... M....

    iTunes sucks that's why...this is an amazin album

    D.... M....

    Daniel Miller - I looked for it and saw it at iTunes. You must not live here in the states like me.

  43. C.... L....

    Don Dokken is one of the greatest musicians every, and this is one of his best songs

  44. P.... G....

    Rock Will Never Die.

  45. S.... B....

    Why can't music be like this again????????

    S.... B....

    Can not agree more! This song has something that is hard to put into words...sentimental vibe epic...

    S.... B....

    The best year

    S.... B....

    ...because all the great musicians have been sidelined for the Beibers and the likes...

    S.... B....

    Cause no one has balls or talent anymore.all these queers know how to do these days is use the f word.

    S.... B....

    Justin feebal dose not know how to sing.

  46. D.... M....

    dokken rhymes with rockin

    D.... M....

    Dean Milham rokken with dokken

  47. J.... A....

    This was probably one of the best Dokken albums. I say that because although this was released as a Don Dokken album because of political reasons - it really is a 'DOKKEN' album.

    J.... A....

    Don is the only one from the band Dokken on this CD

    J.... A....

    @Tabitha Sable Yes, but it's his band regardless. He is responsible for getting recognised by a scorpions producer who flew him over to Germany to sing on the record with Klaus Meine.. Not making an issue of this BTW lol just it's sad how Don's the most under-appreciated guy in his own band. He started it all off worked his nuts off to get it going.. Whole team effort of course with Tooth and Nail and beyond.

  48. G.... ....

    The entire album is superb, but this is by far the best song of the album. Can't believe, it never made it as a single SMH. \,,/ 

    G.... ....

    i didnt think don could make a great album with out george... i was wrong

    G.... ....

    @Vince Larocca Why would you even think that? what did you think Lynch was writing the fucking songs.

  49. P.... D....

    Don is recovering from stomach cancer. 

    P.... D....

    I didn't know that....Sorry to hear about that! He's a legendary rockstar and I hope we don't lose him, like we lost Ronnie James Dio from Stomach Cancer....That was sad!

    P.... D....

    +Gregory Morales it wasnt stomach cancer. He had nodules on his vocal chords.

    P.... D....

    It's similar right Mary? ;)

    P.... D....

    @Mary Northam Yeah and he also had stomach cancer

  50. J.... ....

    Dokken, the very best there is, forever and always, long live Dokken!

  51. p.... ....

    WOW I totally forgot how unreal this album is. still kicks ass

  52. S.... P....

    damn I must say this album was just as good (if not better) than all of the Dokken albums. With or without Lynch - Don did just fine :)

    S.... P....

    I 100% agree

    S.... P....

    I 1000000% agree

    S.... P....

    Susan Puglife sorry...still love Lynch. He's still a beast!

    S.... P....

    @Keith Rushmore You can still love Lynch for the amazing guitar player he is, as long as you realise he clearly isn't the Dokken sound.

  53. v.... ....

    This entire album is one of my all time favorites. I bought it on cassette when it was released in 1990. Now I have it on cd and still play it from start to finish enjoying listening this supergroup. Don Dokken sounded outstanding on each song.

    v.... ....

    ...sounds like my situation :)

  54. j.... ....

    totally i agree

  55. V.... T....

    he is the best.... better then the best

  56. c.... ....

    Very underrated band. Damn good music.

    c.... ....

    since when are they underrated?????

    c.... ....

    Since always, they used to be well known but almost everyone has forgotten about them. It's not like there is a set limit for being underrated it's more like a ratio of how good something is compared to how much attention it gets. So comparing any Don Dokken or Dokken song to how many views it has and how many people know about it you can easily tell it's WAY to underrated.

  57. K.... ....

    still got the original tape handed down from my pops... got a killer 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula from my uncle... poping this tape on that car is just too epic... it feels like a time capsule roaring down the street....

  58. M.... ....

    Been a fan of Dokken for some time now, but am just discovering Don and George's solo work. Great track!

  59. K.... D....

    Up from the Ashes is Back for the Attack II!!

    K.... D....

    Unfortunately it seems the album was put under lock and key.

  60. k.... ....

    Definately.

  61. o.... ....

    Ohhh....such a beautiful song

  62. 4.... ....

    sii,,y billy white,,son 2 guitarristas..

  63. b.... ....

    ¿Es John Norum el guitarrista de este disco?

  64. C.... ....

    I lived on these guys in the late 80's and 90's. Absolutely unappreciated. Lyrically Don Dokken blew me away when I first was introduced to them by my best friend. He knew great music and I still think about him today everytime I put on some Dokken. R.I.P. Mark DeLeon we love you bro. Keep Rockin!!!

    C.... ....

    CraniumAdrenaline sorry for your friend rip he knew great music

  65. n.... ....

    @tynpoom 1990 it says under the info?

  66. 4.... ....

    very good

  68. D.... T....

  69. K.... ....

    Beautiful song!

  70. T.... A....

    Just a great CD. I mean every song is a hit, great guitar, vocals, lyrics, emotion. Just love it. A Masterpiece from Donny Dee. Of course Lynch is a Bad MOFO on the 6 string, but tghis had a more poppy sound and I liked it. Great songs, solos, emotion. Would have LOVED to hear CD #2 from THIS line up. That would be fringing scary. I write great reviews done I ???? LOL

    Don Dokken + Lynch Mob= DOKKEN

  73. M.... A....

    John Norum is such a badass guitar player. This song is even better when you hear the live version they did back then. When the band come in it seems like a big explosion. Epic!

  74. N.... C....

    Loved this song, On Guitar for this Album was 'John Norum' ex Europe Guitarist..
    Different style but nice, Love Dokken Period !! Just an Awesome Band.

  75. H.... N....

    I believe Dokken and Y&T are most unrated metal bands ever.
    Both rocks!

  76. D.... ....

    The Last Dokken album

  77. D.... O....

    Man! I remember when I first discovered Dokken... it was this song, a friend put it on I the car. from that point there was no turning back! I love these guys!

  78. d.... ....

  84. M.... A....

    Hell yeah! Dokken was geat! Under rated, under appreciatedand under promoted! Isaw them open for Juda Priest when Priest went techno on their "Turbo" album. Priest rocked the coliseum, but, Dokken tore the fuckin roof off the place!
