So Far Away

Carole King

 

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

Yay-uh-ay-eee
Oh, so far away

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
Yet so many dreams I've yet to fin-ind

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

Yay-uh-ay-eee
Oh, so far away
Yay, you're so faaaaaar away

 

 Yeah, I learned about Carole King through my dad too. I like how she plays piano (like me :-D).

Like everybody else, I like sad songs because they make you hurt inside, which reminds you that you still have feelings and still love people who you haven't seen in forever.

This song reminds me a lot of "Leaving on a Jet Plane", which I think is a really pretty song and what I think of every time we take a family vacation that involves airplanes.
