Not so Far Away

Smoking cigarettes on the deck again

Don't know if I can do it

Something makes me want to

Start again with someone special

Something makes me scared

Don't know what I'm afraid of

And the moon shines high over the city

Only the hills get in the way

And the orchestra of birds is overwhelming

And you

You're not so far away

Not so far away

Watched the screen tonight till it flickered

Never trust computers

They die when you don't want them to

You never know love until you're in it

Creeps up unawares

It's unexpected till you're there

And the dawn breaks high over the horizon like a painting

And the lonesome train bells cry

And the streets themselves are singing while you're sleeping

And you

You're not so far away

You're not so far away

Not so far away

Let's get it on

Clapped-out government let us down again

Don't know if I can face it

This daily news survival

I wanna start again with someone special

Something makes me scared

Don't know what I'm afraid of

And the morning comes like the postman it's unpredictable

I long for European sky

And the church bells are silent

'Cause no one is really listening

And the icons have tears in their eyes

And you're so real with your coffee and your cigarettes

And your Mediterranean eyes

Come and enclose me

Roll over and unfold me

I gotta realise

You're not so far away

Not so far away
