Lyrics

Far Away, Nearby

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A little boy sits by the light of the moon

He knows that he's lost something precious too soon

But he's quiety singing a nursery tune

He sings for whoever may hear him

But one day he finds for whatever it's worth

The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth

They'll all come and go through death and rebirth

And the ones that he's lost will be near him

Chorus:

No matter the distance they're putting between us

Whether on earth or on high

I'll send up a prayer, if you blow me some kisses

From the far away, nearby

Bye

Bye

So whether you're weary or cold as a stone

Baby, maybe you're reeling and feeling alone

But remember your sadness, well it isn't unknown

Just think of the one's that you're missing (and sing)

[Chorus]

Middle 8:

You can hear them all singing and dancing

Kicking up their heels from across the divide...listen

You can hear the music playing

A calling out to someone from the other side

[Chorus to end]
