Lyrics: Carole King. The Essential Carole King. 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
And it doesn't help to know that you're just time away

Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away, yeah

One more song about movin' along the highway
I can't say much of anything that's new
But if I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

Really 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

So far away
Yeah, you're so far away
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
There's so many dreams that 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

You're so far away
Oh, you're so far away
You're so far away

Oh, I need to get in touch with you baby
You're so very, very, very far away
Oh, you're so, so far away
