Manny Duran and Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning
Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
Like a circle 'round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning

You keep on moving
You continue to go on your way
Far away, far away
Distant from here, really far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
Everyday, time relentlessly moves forward
And the cry...still returning
Despite the passage of time, the sorrow is still present
Dawn will soon be breaking
The sun is about to rise
The day has just begun
The cycle of life and work starts anew
You put your arms around me
You embrace me with warmth and love
Like a circle 'round the sun
Like a never-ending cycle
Dance across the seasons
Move gracefully through the yearly changes
To a place that no one knows
To a mysterious and unknown location
Where angels fear to tread
Where even celestial beings are afraid to go
You keep on moving
You continue moving forward
Far away, far away
So far away from here
You keep on moving
You keep traveling
Far away, far away
A great distance from here
Everyday, wheels are turning
As time moves forward
And the cry...still returning
The heartache persists over time

If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've got to, we've got to make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave, don't look back
I'll run the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to, you've got to say you will
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I own't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd meet again
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd still be friends
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

I'm 47 years old. The 80's were just amazing. Listening to this song just takes me back to a simpler time. I miss those days!
@vincentvanwyk5522
Best part was no mobile phones and no youtube. For some reason it was better. Now people have their faces in their phones non stop

I took the girl of my dreams to see Pretty in pink, we got married and had three children. I lost her eleven years ago and my heart has never been the same. This song has been one of my favorites for many years.
@glauciamarques5499
I'm so sorry! This song is my ringtone on my mobile. I love it
@bizmarkie9112
Right? I too, shared this with someone I loved. He let me go. I still look back fondly on this. But we can't let it affect our lives anymore..We gotta strive to find happiness elsewhere. And when you do, you'll probably regret pondering and wasting your time so much over this person.
BUT...who knows? If they come back, it must've been true all along? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
