So Far Away
Rod Stewart · If We Fall in Love Tonight
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
But 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 moving 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 being 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
But it doesn't help to know that you're
So far away
Yeah you're so far away
Travelling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing 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 that you're
So far away
you're so far away
repeat
About So Far Away
Rod Stewart's "So Far Away" serves as a poignant centerpiece on the 1976 album *If We Fall in Love Tonight*, exemplifying his mastery of romantic balladry during the mid-1970s. The track blends Stewart's signature vocal delivery with lush orchestration and soulful backing, characteristic of the era's polished pop-rock sound. Released alongside other notable tracks from the same session, the song reflects themes of longing and emotional distance, a staple in Stewart's discography that resonates with listeners seeking heartfelt musical narratives. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the melancholic beauty of unrequited or distant love, cementing its place within the broader canon of Stewart's romantic repertoire and the soft-rock genre of the 1970s.
