"SO FAR AWAY"
SUNG BY CAROLE KING
"YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY..YET SO NEAR.."
FROM THE PERSONAL POETRY COLLECTION OF SUSAN JANE KAHON
YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY,AT TIMES IT SEEMS
I HAVE TO ALTER MY TREASURED DREAMS
TO FIT YOUR MANY PLANS AND SCHEMES
AND LEAVE MY OWN LIFE SCATTERED AND LOST
LIKE AUTUMN, WITH IT'S EARLY FROST



YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY, YET SO NEAR TO ME
IF ONLY WE COULD SEE OUR DESTINY
YOU'D KNOW HOW MUCH YOU STILL MEAN TO ME
AND HOW CLOSE YOU REALLY SEEM TO LIVE
AND ME, I'M HERE WITH ALL THIS LOVE TO
GIVE



YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY, YET CLOSENESS STILL REMAINS
IN THOUGHTS..MEMORIES..JOY..AND PAIN..
I WORK SO HARD..SOMETIMES I NEVER SEE THE GAIN..
BUT YOU..YOUR BEING JUST EXPLODES INSIDE
AND ALL THE FRAGMENTS COME TO REST,AND IN MY HEART RESIDE

YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY, YET COLOURS OF YOUR SOUL DISPLAY
THEMSELVES..WITH YOU AT VARIOUS STAGES OF YOUR PLAY
AND I CAN VIEW YOUR COLOURS EVERY DAY..
YOUR FACE, YOUR EYES, YOUR HAIR
I SEE YOUR COLOURS EVERYWHERE



YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY
YET I CAN TOUCH YOUR LIPS TO KISS THEM NOW
I JUST HAVE TO THINK OF BLISS, SOMEHOW
AND I CAN FEEL YOUR TOUCH AS MUCH AS SENSES CAN ALLOW
FOR IN MY DREAMS YOU STILL EXIST
AND IN MY HEART
YOUR LIPS I'VE KISSED..



YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY
AND ENERGY FLOWS FROM YOUR SOUL
AND INFUSES IT INTO MY OWN
AND MAKES TWO WOUNDED HEARTS SEEM WHOLE
BUT HOW CAN I LIVE WITH YOU THIS WAY?
WITH ME SO NEAR?
AND YOU
SO FAR AWAY?
