Far From You

I've seen it many times before
 They always seem to get away
 Down the stairs you closed the door
 In the limelight, no, you couldn't stay
 Is it all a grand design?
 Where falling stars run out of time
 And leave us all behind
 Oh, tell me why
 Tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
 Disappear instead of singing here
 Oh, what are we to do?
 Oh, we can't believe it's true
 We're so far from you
 I listen to the radio
 Hold my breath to hear you sing
 Far away and so long ago
 But without you I lose the beat
 Oh, who would write that grand design
 That pushed blinding stars into your eyes?
 Oh, the radio is still alive
 Oh, tell me why
 Oh, tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
 Disappear instead of singing here
 Oh, what are we to do?
 Oh, we can't believe it's true
 We're so far from you
 So far from you
 Well, I hang on every word
 So far from you
 And I sing and your voice, it returns
 So far from you
 And the sound is the most beautiful that I've heard
 Oh, tell me why
 Oh, tell me why do birds, do they suddenly
 Disappear instead of singing here
 Oh, what are we to do?
 Oh, no, we can't believe it's true
 We're so far from you
