[Verse 1]
Every time I think of you, you get a little smaller
Suns getting lower and the shadows getting taller
Light gets caught in the tree top branches
Released to the fire as the tree becomes ashes

[Verse 2]
Hills glow gold as the rays of the sun go
High above the water see the cloud sit solo
The whale can dive to the bottom of the ocean
Frozen time and frozen motion

[Chorus]
So far away, so far away
When I get there, it's gonna be a better day
So far away, so far away
I'll get there tomorrow if I leave yesterday

[Verse 3]
Say goodbye to the family table
Work when you can and sleep when you're able
The price keeps rising and the kids are getting bolder
Every time I think of you, you get a little older
Little bit softer and round at the shoulder

[Chorus]
So far away, so far away
When I get there, it's gonna be a better day
So far away, so far away
I'll get there tomorrow if I leave yesterday
I'll get there tomorrow if I leave yesterday
