Far From You

(album: The Future And The Past - 2018)

I've seen it many times before
They always seem to get away
Down the stairs you closed the door
In the limelight, no, you couldn't stay
Is it all a grand design?
Where falling stars run out of time
And leave us all behind
Oh, tell me why

Tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
Disappear instead of singing here
Oh, what are we to do?
Oh, we can't believe it's true
We're so far from you

I listen to the radio
Hold my breath to hear you sing
Far away and so long ago
But without you I lose the beat
Oh, who would write that grand design
That pushed blinding stars into your eyes?
Oh, the radio is still alive
Oh, tell me why

Oh, tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
Disappear instead of singing here
Oh, what are we to do?
Oh, we can't believe it's true
We're so far from you

So far from you
Well, I hang on every word
So far from you
And I sing and your voice, it returns
So far from you
And the sound is the most beautiful that I've heard
Oh, tell me why

Oh, tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
Disappear instead of singing here
Oh, what are we to do?
Oh, no, we can't believe it's true
We're so far from you
