about

In the late Summer of 1973, a caravan of little foreign cars set out from Glendive, Montana, carrying a band of young musicians West, to the "big city." (Portland OR) In April of 1974, We had our first real experience in a recording studio, and this is one of the songs we recorded. Written by Larry Jacobsen (RIP).

lyrics

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)
