So Far Away
Jazz Crusaders Lyrics

So far away
Expressing the distance between two people who are separated by a long distance

Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Questioning whether people still stay in one place for a long time, as the singer is missing their loved one who is far away

It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Expressing the singer's desire to see their loved one right in front of them

And it doesn't help to know you're just time away
Acknowledging that knowing the actual distance doesn't make the separation easier to bear

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Recalling a time in the past when the artist could easily reach out and touch their loved one

Holding you again would only do me good
Highlighting the singer's longing to experience the comfort of being held by their loved one again

Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away
Emphasizing the sadness and frustration of being separated from someone they deeply care about

One more song about moving along the highway
Acknowledging that this song is just one of many that speak to the ups and downs of traveling

I can't say much of anything that's new
Admitting that it's difficult to express anything different from what others have sung before when it comes to the experience of traveling

But if I could only work this life out my way
Expressing the desire to be able to have complete control over the situations and experiences encountered in life

I'd rather spend it being close to you
Stating that the singer would choose to spend their life close to their loved one if given the chance

But you're so far away
Reiterating the fact that distance is the main obstacle facing the artist in their relationship

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Acknowledging the feelings of sadness and loneliness that come with being on the road for prolonged periods of time

Nothing else to do but close my mind
Stating that the singer has no other option but to retreat into their own thoughts and emotions

And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
Expressing the hope that the lifestyle of constantly being on the road does not take over their identity

There's so many dreams that I've yet to find
Highlighting the fact that there are still many experiences and goals that the artist hopes to achieve in their life

So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Reiterating the distance as the main obstacle standing between the artist and their loved one
