So Far Away
Yearning for Closeness: "So Far Away" by Vikki Carr
Lyrics
So far away
Expressing a feeling of distance and separation.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Questioning the lack of stability and constant movement in people's lives.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Expressing a desire to see a familiar face at the door.
And it doesn't help to know you're just time away
Acknowledging the emotional challenge of knowing someone is far away.
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Reflecting on a past attempt to reach out for the person.
Holding you again would only do me good
Believing that reuniting would bring positive feelings.
Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away
Expressing a strong wish to be close, despite the physical distance.
One more song about moving along the highway
Introducing another song about traveling on the highway.
I can't say much of anything that's new
Admitting a lack of new things to say about the journey.
But if I could only work this life out my way
Desiring to navigate life in a way that allows closeness with the person.
I'd rather spend it being close to you
Expressing a preference for spending life close to the person.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance and yearning for closeness.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Expressing frustration about the lack of stability in people's lives.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Repeating the desire to see the person's face at the door.
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional challenge of being far away from the person.
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Emphasizing the significant emotional distance.
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Expressing the emotional toll of constant travel.
Nothing else to do but close my mind
Describing a state of mind affected by the loneliness of the journey.
And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
Hoping to maintain one's identity despite the challenges of the road.
There's so many dreams that I've yet to find
Highlighting unfulfilled dreams due to the ongoing journey.
But you're so far away
Repeating the emotional distance and yearning for closeness.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Expressing frustration about the lack of stability in people's lives.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Repeating the desire to see the person's face at the door.
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional challenge of being far away from the person.
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Emphasizing the significant emotional distance.
