No joy in heaven, although the Sun may shine
I need the warmth of gin inside
I see the golden track, blurred in sand and dust
Where burnt out cars decay and rust

Reach for a face that isn’t there
A letter from afar
Fooled by my mind again I fear
A letter from afar
Chanting these words out like a prayer
A letter from afar
Hoping someone’s listening there
A letter from afar

Ooh, afar

A letter from a far
Too much is not enough
I need to feel your touch
I need to have you close to me
Desert sons and guns
Mosquito nets and bombs
I watch them from my swimming pool

Reach for a face that isn’t there
A letter from afar
Fooled by my mind again I fear
A letter from afar
Chanting these words out like a prayer
A letter from afar
Hoping someone’s listening there
A letter from afar

Ooh, afar
Too much is not enough

And I reach for a face that isn’t there
A letter from afar
Fooled by my mind again I fear
A letter from afar
Chanting these words out like a prayer
A letter from afar
Hoping someone’s listening there
A letter from afar

I need to feel your touch
I need to feel your touch
I need to feel your touch
I need to feel your touch again
