So Far Away

Carole King · Essential Carole King 3.0 [2011]

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 any more

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away



Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothin' else to do but close my mind

I sure do hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams

I've yet to find



But your 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 youre so far away...
