SherryT123 Lyr/Tune Req: 10,000 Miles (Mary Chapin Carpenter) (32) RE: 10,000 miles song from Fly Away Home 14 Feb 98


Wow, thanks for all the responses! I think I found the song, it is called Fare Thee Well and also is called Ten Thousand Miles depending on who sang it. I did some searches on the web and found several artists who have done it but none can compare to the way that Mary Chapin Carpenter did it in the movie Fly Away Home and as far as I can tell she has no recordings of it other than on the movie itself(which I loaned out and have to get back!). I'll get it back and then make a copy of the song that way. If you haven't heard it, check it out. It is a beautiful song. The lyrics start out like this... Fare thee well my own true love, farewell for awhile, I'm going away...but I'll return if I go ten thousand miles... Thanks again for all your responses. Sherry :-)
