Far From You

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
