Far Away
JONES AND DJEMEIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life's a four leaf clover
Sessions of depression are through
Every hope I longed for long ago, comes true
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last!
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
Long ago was you

Dreary days are over
Negative and unpleasant days have ended
Life's a four leaf clover
Life is now lucky and full of good fortune
Sessions of depression are through
Periods of sadness and low moods are over
Every hope I longed for long ago, comes true
All of the aspirations and desires from the past have become reality
Long ago and far away
A distant and different time in the past
I dreamed a dream one day
A vision or ambition imagined at some point in time
And now that dream is here beside me
The dream has been realized and is now present in reality
Long the skies were overcast
The skies were dark and cloudy for a long time
But now the clouds have passed
The darkness and difficulties have ended
You're here at last!
Finally, the person or thing desired is present and accounted for
Chills run up and down my spine
Intense and moving sensations of emotion
Aladdin's Lamp is mine

Just one look and then I knew
Experiencing a moment of instant recognition
That all I longed for
Every desire and hope
Long ago was you
Was fulfilled by the person or thing now present
