A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

Miles Away Lyrics

Winger

So this is love
Or so you tell me
As your walking out the door
The months go by
And I know for certain
It's not the love I'm looking for

But sometimes, just for a moment
I reach out, and hope you're still there

Chorus:
Miles away
No you're never turning back
I just can't wait anymore
Miles away
Nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away

It's hard to tell
What you're going through
You kept your feelings locked inside of you
Open your heart
And chances are
What you're feeling, I'm feeling too

If only, just for a moment
Hold on to the dreams that we had

Chorus:
Miles away
No you're never turning back
And I just can't wait anymore
Miles away
Nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away

Bridge:
When times were tough
And you were down and out
Who was there by your side
But now you're gone and
I'm so tired of being alone
With only your promises

Solo

The lonliness just fades away
Thoughts of you just memories
No cryin' now for what we're missin'
Time won't forget what you meant to me

If only just for a moment
Hold on to the dreams that we had

Chorus:
Miles away
No you're never turning back
And I just can't wait anymore
Miles away
Nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most
Whoa!!!!!!
Miles away
No you're never turning back
And I just can't wait anymore
Miles away
Nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away.
