"Far Away" lyrics
"Far Away"
Far away
In some lovely way I hear your call
Whatever happened to them all?
Whatever happened to us all?
I know that we've never met before
But that was then, and now I need you more
Is someone here keeping the score?
Is there only dying at your door?
Taking me down off this cross
Lay me down, down, down in the dust
Whoa, love, take my hand across the crowd
I have been digging underground
What'er remains is yet to be found
I have no children
I have no husband
I have no reason
To be alive
Oh, give me one
Green grass blades are all on fire
High on the crack that's in the wind
From your window I see bars and the birds
They sing and they sing and they sing
And the dogs
They bark and they bark and they bark and they bark
Ah...
Whatever happened to them all?
Whatever happened to us all?
Annie had two young baby boys
And Jimi went crazy, crazy, crazy late last fall
Ah...
Thanks to Deborah for correcting these lyrics.

Full of what...

My heart's empty
Paddy's gone
For a long time
Loved that man
Scared without him
Paddy's gone
For a long time

My heart's empty
Paddy's gone
For a long time
Loved that...
Rosie Thomas - "2 Dollar Shoes" I'll put my favourite white dress on
And my 2 dollar shoes
Tie my hair up the way you like

Frazey Ford - "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You know you just stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
You're lovers in a...
