Faraway, you're old enough to know I've seen it in your eyes Each time we speak of paradise There's a beast on the move You've got to hold that groove I'm near you when you pray Take me faraway Faraway upon a distant shore Voices in the wind Whisper of their sacred sin There's a hole in this world Through which we both might crawl I'm with you when you say Take me faraway Make it easy Make it soon I'm so weary Of hotels and else Dime-a-dance saloons I want to be faraway Like shells beside the sea That tumble in the sand And sleep where ancient rivers ran There's a chair on a hill If you've got time to give It's easy when you say Take me faraway Further on, the breaking of the dawn An ordinary friend can bring you to your journey's end To that place in the sky Where all the colors fly It happens everyday Take me faraway Happens when you say Take me faraway Take me faraway Take me faraway Take me faraway
