Far Away

I looked far away
I looked way into the future
What I saw was you not here with me

And when I looked inside for an answer, honey
I just knew that I had to be free

What I have to say
What I have to say I know will hurt you
After years of love
It's hard to understand

No, that I'm not leavin' for anyone else, honey
I need to know just who I am

If it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself

Gather up my things
Leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake

To tell them daddy had to go away

I'm going far away
Nothing lasts forever
I'm going far from where I used to be
I remember that young couple at the chapel
It all seems like a dream to me

I!
I didn't know myself
Never knew myself when I met you
And even now must seem like a crime

You know that I promised to love you forever
It's just forever ran out of time

So if it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself

I'll just gather my things
The keys are on the shelf

I'll come 'round in the morning
When the kids awake

Ohhh!
To tell them daddy had to go away

Hmmmmmmm

I never knew myself

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Know that I wanna

Mmmmmmmm

I'm gonna walk on
Far away

Ohhh, heyyyyy!

Mmmmmm

Mmmm
If it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself

I'll just gather my things
I'll leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake

To tell them that Daddy had to go away

If it's all right with you
I'll excuse myself

If it's all right with you
I'll leave the keys on the shelf

I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake
Mmmmmmmm

To tell them that Daddy had to go away

(whistling)

Mmmmmm

Going far away

I need to know who I am

Heyyyyyy!

Mmmmmmmmm
