Lyrics
Far Away
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.
7:30 am nurse the baby on the couch
Then the phone rings
"turn on the t.v."
Watch the world explode in flames
And don't leave the house
And the sky overhead
Is silent, waiting
Clear blue holds its breath
And the heart is hit
In a city far away
But it feels so close
Don't breathe the air today
Don't speak of why you're afraid
(standing here on a one way road
And i fall down,
No other direction for this to go
So we fall down)
Why can't i get along with you?
And the president hides
While working men rush in
To give their lives
I look to the sky
And ask it not to rain
On my family tonight
