"So Far Away" written by Carole King
from the "Tapestry" album 1971
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 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.
/
One more song about moving along the highway
can't say much of anything that's new.
If I could only work my 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.
/
doesn't help to know that you're just time away
/
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
nothin' else to do but close my mind.
I sure don't hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams 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
/
doesn't help to know that you're so far away
