So Far Away - Full Version Lyrics
Dire Straits
Lyrics
Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
Now where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
All right
I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
All right
And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Check it out
So far away
You're so far away from me
(You're so far)
All right
(You're so far)
Yes, you're so far away from me
