Far Away

I know you were right
 I know you had to go
 I know the house was burning down
 Even if it burnt slow
 But that don't make it easy
 No baby no
 Not with this fire
 That swallowed me whole
 Some people you can love up close
 Some people from afar
 And I guess the trick is knowing
 Which kind they are
 Of course I'm gonna love you
 For all of my days
 Heaven help me to do it
 From far away
 I know I was right
 I know I had to leave
 You were singing from a distant shore
 Never standing beside me
 But that don't make it easy
 No baby no
 Not with your sweet song
 In my blood and my bones
 Some people you can love up close
 Some people from afar
 And I guess the trick is knowing
 Which kind they are
 Of course I'm gonna love you
 For all of my days
 Heaven help me to do it
 From far away
 Show me a map, a star, a sign
 I'll find my way
 Let me come close enough to just
 Touch your face
 Some people you can love up close
 Some people from afar
 And I'm no damn good at knowing
 Which kind they are
 Of course I'm gonna love you
 For all of my days
 Heaven help me to do it
 From far away
