Lyrics for So Far Away

So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know You're just time away Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could But you're so far away One more song about movin' along the highway Can't say much of anything that's new If I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it bein' close to you But, you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know You're so far away Yeah, you're so far away Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely Nothing else to do but close my mind I sure hope the road don't come to own me There's so many dreams I've yet to find But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know You're so far away Yeah, you're so far away Hey, you're so far away
