“Far Away” Lyrics

Verse 1

Didn’t I let you see  … I could be your Far Away?

Desert sands … gold dust shining.

Didn’t I make you feel … like the one’s you left behind?

Without colors … empty canvas … ’cause your rain washed them away.

So I’m … crazy for wondering … how our love … could let you down.

And you … so excited … to go your own way.

Baby why’d I have to know?

Verse 2

So I have to try … facing all my nights alone.

And I’m all out of strength … ’cause that came from you babe.

Just listening to the sound … of your silence echoing

You stand up for love … then it’s all ripped away …

so remember next time …

When you … are lonely and aching … for my hands … you could have stayed.

But you … were so damn excited … to go your own way.

Baby why’d I have to know?

One night … oh one night in bed … your tears will beg … the silence to end

Then you’ll wish you would have stayed.

CHORUS:

You’ll never dream without a thought of …

You’ll never sign without a breath of me.

Connect AND INSPIRE

I’ve been getting a lot of emails from people asking to hear more from me on the “inspire” half of my blog’s mission statement “To Connect and Inspire.”  For me, inspiration mostly comes from listening to the tones in my mind and jotting those tones down on paper.  Mostly they appear in the form of poetry or song lyrics.  So, in response to those wanting more inspirational stuff … I’m going to do a blog series sharing past and new poems and songs.  The first one I’m going to begin with was written for an old friend and drummer in my old band who’s girlfriend was moving across the country.   Her excitement around the move was breaking his heart as he was staying behind where we lived in Massachusetts.  Seeing the emotional pain he was going through inspired me to write a song.  So this next blog’s for you Joe … it’s called “Far Away.”
