Far Away
The Impatient Sisters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should have known all about her
You should have known all about you
'Cause it's true
You sail alone and you're breathless
You wait for the distraction to put a ring back to you
When you realize the signs from your heart
Glad I still bring the smile to your eyes
And when evening falls

You save me
It glows bright tonight
When you sing to me
All the songs you make
Blind you from the words you should have said
You should have known that you're made of
Two souls singin' 'bout one love
'Cause you can't fool us two
When you realize the signs from your heart
That I didn't bring the smile to your eyes
And when evening falls
You save me
It goes bright tonight
When you sing to me
All the songs you make
Blind you from the words you should have said
Far away (When the song ends)
Far away (And the story ends)
Far away (There you'll stay)
And when evening falls
You save me
It goes bright tonight
When you sing to me
All the songs you make

Blind you from the words you should have said
