Just Out of Reach

Willie Nelson · City of New Orleans [1984]

Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be

Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free

Too far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase

Then I awake and find you're gone and I'm so blue and all alone

So far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms

[ keyboards - piano - strings ]

That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you could not be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep

So far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms
