Lyrics of
So Far Away

So Far Away was written by Carole King and it reflects Kings life experiences, especially focusing on friendships and relationships that are geographically distant, a common theme in her life due to her constant traveling and relocating.

So far a - way,
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
^ ^ ^ ^
It doesn't help to know you're just time a - way,
Long ago I reached for you, and there you stood,
Holding you a - gain could only do me--- good,
^ ^ ^ ^
How I wish I could, but you're so
far a - way! / / / /

One more song about moving along the highway,
Can't say much of anything that's new,
If I could only work this life out---- my way,
I'd rather spend it being close to you------

But you're so far a - way,
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
^ ^ ^ ^
It doesn't help to know you're so far a - way,
Yeah - eah, you're so far a - way! / / / /
^ ^ ^

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely,
Nothing else to do, but close my mind,
I sure hope the road don't come to own me,
There's so many dreams I've yet to find-----
^ ^ ^

But you're so far a - way,
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
And it doesn't help to know you're so far a - way,
Yeah - eah, you're so far a - way,
Hey, you're so far----- a- way------!
