So Far Away - Ethel Ennis

So far away

Doesn’t anybody stay in one place any more?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn’t help to know you’re just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again would only do me good

Oh how I wish I could but you’re so far away

One more song about moving along the highway

I can’t say much of anything that’s new

But if I could only work this 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 any more?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn’t help to know you’re so far away

So far away, yeah, you’re so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothing else to do but close my mind

And I sure hope the road don’t get to own me

There’s so many dreams that I’ve yet to find

But you’re so far away

Doesn’t anybody stay in one place any more?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn’t help to know you’re so far away

So far away, yeah, you’re so far away
