Miss Simferopol

Lyrics

Happy birthday, Miss Simferopol Out there by the black sea You're closer to Constantinople Than you are to me Hope you're not lonely, Miss Simferopol Far from New York or DC Though you're nearly ten thousand miles to the east Somehow i feel like you're still sitting here with me George Jones says send wine-colored roses That way she'll know that you care Bob Dylan only tells me things that i already know Like you're gonna make me lonesome when you go Roy Orbison, it's not just you who just can't keep from cryin' Girl groups only make me think about how she's so fine So if you're sitting by yourself in the Crimean night Someone back here's still got you on his mind CHORUS If i could, I'd walk ten thousand miles and then some more Just to be the man who walked ten thousand miles to your door I've tried old-time string bands, 3-part tunes, Bob Wills, the Jackson Five Durante says a kiss is just a kiss as time goes by Turns out none of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known Can make me keep from wishing you here at home Even the worst pop song writers the world has ever seen Can't stop my wishing you were sitting here with me CHORUS
