Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time

So Far Away
Lyricist:Stephen Duffy
When I was a young, young man Back in the twentieth century Well, you made your own amusements then
Flying to the moon The benefit of hindsight Is always black and white
And there always were contrasting ways To get you through the night From bright morning star to morning sun
But they are so far away That I won't even ask them to stay
I've been looking for a way to be true A way out of the blue Calling but I can't get through To explain myself to you
The constant repetition Of details from the past The painful human anguish Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Of why can't true love last?
Whilst living in the wreckage Of all we have done
But you are so far away That I won't even ask you to stay
The day the Berlin wall came down And other days forgotten Nostalgia isn't what it was Farewell then Johnny Rotten, Brian Jones
And Jackson Pollock, Chairman Mao See you later Allen Ginsberg You changed the world somehow And the times when we weren't crying Have been fun
But they are so far away That I won't even ask them to stay No way, I won't even ask them to stay
