Now here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
Now where are you when the sun goes down?
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Alright
I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Alright
And I get so tired when I have to explain
That you're so far away from me
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Take it down
So far away
You're so far away from me
You're so far
Oh, it's so far away from me
Yeah, it's so far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far
And you're so far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far
So far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far away from me
So far away
You're so far
So far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far
Alright
You're so far
And it's so far away from me
