Kongos - Far Away lyrics

You hear that
There's a song to make you feel alright
It's calling me, and calling you
So won't you sing all afternoon
Loud and carelessly

You hear that
There's a song to fill the empty space
It'll take you back to better times
A summer track you'll recognize
That brightens up your day

You told me
Told me in the morning when you
Woke up from a daze
That lately
Lately you've been hiding that you choke up
'Cause everyone you love is far away
Don't want to be far away
Don't want to be far away no more
Far away
Don't want to be far away
Don't want to be far away no more

You feel that
There's a weight that can't escape the room
It's underneath the skin and bones
It settles deep and sets like stone
With every restless sleep

You told me
Told me in the morning when you
Woke up from a daze
That lately
Lately you've been hiding that you choke up
When everybody goes
Home is, home is where you'd
Like to see the sunset
From a roof
Not roaming
'cause Rome is even lonely in a new bed
When everyone you love is
Holding, barely holding on when they
Wake up from a daze
And maybe
Maybe they've been hiding that they choke up
'Cause everyone they love is far away
Don't want to be far away
Don't want to be far away no more
Far away
Don't want to be far away
Don't want to be far away no more
