Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp
For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Lyrics
A Thousand Miles Away © July 2004 / Revised September 2007, Alan D. David, BMI All Rights Reserved (v1) At last you’ve gone and left me I saw it coming on Becoming more apparent With the breaking of each dawn (v2) Can’t tell you how I miss you Or how many tears I’ve cried It’s so lonely here without you Couldn’t even say goodbye (Chorus) I don’t know where you’ve gone off to After all these years together But I know you’re never coming back Not tomorrow, now or ever When I kneel and pray to God I don’t know what to say Though you’re just across the room You’re a thousand miles away (v3) You didn’t mean to leave me It wasn’t in your plans And when I lean to kiss you You don’t know who I am (v4) You don’t look any diff’rent That’s what makes it oh so hard Knowing I can’t reach you Is tearing me apart (Bridge) Why does it have to be this way So cruel and so unkind To leave your body perfect But steal away your mind (Tag) Yes I can touch you, I can hold you But you’re a thousand miles away
