This was the first tune we posted here on JPF. It got four reviews we assumed because no one knew us. If you listen closely, it is structured kind of weird, which we like. My brother and his wife, having exhausted all of their adoption possibilities in the US, traveled to Romania to find their infant son and daughter. The ensuing song describes the adventure...
Please forgive us. We will not be back in the studio til after Christmas...Also, when everything was finished and this song was in the "can", we found there was water dripping at the end. It is still a mystery how it got there and where it came from... Diff

10,000 Miles


In 1991 the man wanted a son
But it was not to be
There were no roots on the family tree
The couple tried it all
And rather short they would fall
To launch a pregnancy they even tried artificially

10,000 miles
Across the ocean in a culture wild in Romania
10,000 miles
A son and daughter found a loving passage to America

100,000 orphans in a wasteland
A ward of children teething
A row of cribs with the paint peeling
They found Hunter and Britt
And hearts were broken that day
A single treasured toy stuck
Forever on the room ceiling

10,000 miles
Across the ocean in a culture wild in Romania
10,000 miles
A son and daughter found a loving passage to America

Gifting, bribery...you must pay a fee
Grease a hundred palms
Take the babies and walk don't run
Communist or free
He didn't care what it would be
Get your business done
Beware soldiers with big, big guns

10,000 miles
Across the ocean in a culture wild in Romania
10,000 miles
A son and daughter found a loving passage to America
