My love so far away,

I’d been in prison here

for countless aching years.

You came and set me free

but left me here to roam

and long for you my love

so far away.

My love so far away,

I wander here beneath the trees

and watch the cycle of their leaves

from green to gold to gone

and then around again,

and long for you my love

so far away.

My love so far away

can you tell the good of liberty

when this freedom leaves me lonely

and you so far away?

My love so far away

all pained and joyous I will go

and seek you since, my god, I know

that I will never find a love

unless it is my love

so far away.

My love so far away

I’ll wander every road and lane

take endless steps and endless pains.

The world will call me mad.

I know true madness is

a life without my love

so far away.

My love so far away

do this small thing for me?

Where you are, wait til I come

for you so far away.
