• How I've cried for so long 'cause I can't stop the tears,
    How the world around me keeps aging in years
    And I'm stuck in my past, and I can't find my way;
    When I needed you here, you were too far away.

    How the stars every night seemed to bask in my grief,
    And they crowded me in like a neat coral reef,
    And I asked them so often if they could just stay
    'Cause I needed you here, but you were too far away.

    How the wind seemed to taunt me as it billowed past.
    It had all that it wanted; my want wouldn't last.
    Because my want was you, but all that you would say
    Was' "I can't come to see you. I'm too far away."

    Now I'm packing my bags, and walking through the door;
    You were all that I wanted with no space for more.
    Now whenever I need someone most, I'll just pray
    That someone will come help me. You see, you're too far away.
