An hour of this, a season of that,
You'd better turn up the thermostat, 'cause you'll be sleeping alone tonight,
November whispers and shakes her fist,
Leaves fall down with promises,
I won't be there to dry your eyes, so please don't cry...
When I'm so far away,
So far away, my love,
What can I do or say when I'm so far away?
I'm lost by day and working all night,
I saw your note about the pilot light - didn't I fix that thing before?
An extra blanket will have to do; you know I can't come home to you,
Shut the windows tight, lock the door,
I've seen that sky before.
And I'm so far away,
So far away, my love,
There's nothing I can do or say when I'm so far away,
And I'm so far away,
So far away, my love.
A summer sun, a winter-grey moon,
Read a mystery, I'll be home soon,
What did you say? - it's hard to hear,
I miss your touch, I need your smile,
Would you love a frightened child?
If I were there, if you were here, if I were near.
But I'm so far away,
So far away, my love,
I can't hear a word you say when I'm so far away,
And I'm so far away,
So far away, my love,
What can I do?
What can I say when I'm so far away?
Well, I'm so far away,
So far away, my love,
There's nothing I can do or say when I'm so far away.
