Lyrics Not so Far Away - Andy White

Smoking cigarettes on the deck again
Don't know if I can do it
Something makes me want to
Start again with someone special
Something makes me scared
Don't know what I'm afraid of

And the moon shines high over the city
Only the hills get in the way
And the orchestra of birds is overwhelming
And you
You're not so far away
Not so far away

Watched the screen tonight till it flickered
Never trust computers
They die when you don't want them to
You never know love until you're in it
Creeps up unawares
It's unexpected till you're there

And the dawn breaks high over the horizon like a painting
And the lonesome train bells cry
And the streets themselves are singing while you're sleeping
And you
You're not so far away
You're not so far away

Not so far away
Let's get it on

Clapped-out government let us down again
Don't know if I can face it
This daily news survival
I wanna start again with someone special
Something makes me scared
Don't know what I'm afraid of

And the morning comes like the postman it's unpredictable
I long for European sky
And the church bells are silent
'Cause no one is really listening
And the icons have tears in their eyes
And you're so real with your coffee and your cigarettes
And your Mediterranean eyes
Come and enclose me
Roll over and unfold me
I gotta realise
You're not so far away
Not so far away
