Far Away You said in your letter you're getting around You must have you reasons for leaving the towns I hear you calling me and I can hear you say We're far away I hear you calling me and all that I can say Is far away, so far, far away From where there's a wind there's an edge to your start The winds blow us sadder and farther apart (chorus) When will your rubies forsake all your lies When will your homes be replaced with your lives (chorus)

Long leg in a high heeled shoe Long hair in a blonde hairdo Now red, now black, now brown, she changes Green eyes, brown eyes, now blue But she don't fool me I know her She's everywhere, everywhere She's over here, she's under there She's every where I go She's being a nurse, a secretary Driving a bus, singing on TV Oh, why do I want her so? She's in my dreams She wants my soul She's go my mind She won't let go Fur coat and a diamond ring Chauffeur's got the car running I turn around and she's a waitress Doesn't have anything

Sarahtonin Portland, Oregon

Sarah Jane Burke began playing piano at age five. She had a handful of piano lessons, but is mostly self-taught. She took up guitar at about age 11, mostly inspired by The Beatles, and other "British Invasion" acts.
