Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here I am again in this mean old town

And you're so far away from me

Now, where are you when the sun go down?

You're so far away from me

[Verse 2]

You're so far away from me

So far I just can't see

You're so far away from me

You're so far away from me

Alright

[Verse 3]

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone

When you're so far away from me

I'm tired of making out on the telephone

'Cause you're so far away from me

[Verse 4]

You're so far away from me

You're so far, I just can't see

You're so far away from me

You're so far away from me

Alright

[Verse 5]

And I get so tired when I have to explain

When you're so far away from me

See, you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain

And you're so far away from me

[Verse 6]

You're so far away from me

You're so far, I just can't see

You're so far away from me

You're so far away from me

Take it down

[Verse 7]

So far away from me

You're so far away from me

[Verse 8]

(You're so far)

Oh, you're so far away from me

Yeah, you're so far away from me, so far away from me

(You're so far)

And you're so far away from me

So far away from me

(You're so far)

So far away from me

You're so far away from me, so far away from me, so far away

(You're so far)

So far away from me

Yeah, you're so far away from me

(You're so far)

Alright

(You're so far)

You're just so far away from me
