Far Away Songtext
von Ross Thorn

♪
I was born a miner′s daughter
In an old coal town
Prayed that my dreams might carry me
Far from this city
That's been holding me down
Somewhere far across the sea

Far away, far away
Prayed that my dreams might carry me
Without a heavy heart
I could make a brand new start
Somewhere far across the sea

Was a fine spring morn
When he waltzed right in
His smile shining brightly ′cross the room
For a fleeting moment
I could find my hope in him
He could take me far away real soon


Far away, far away
His smile shining brightly 'cross the room
So I took his hand
At the promise of a man
Who could take me far away real soon
♪

We went and jumped the broom
And settled down upon a farm
Rosy-eyed from starting life anew
It was far from perfect
But I learned to hide my scars
Far away from all I ever knew

Far away, far away
Rosy-eyed from starting life anew
I buried all my doubts
And my voice inside that house
Far away from all I ever knew

Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo

Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo


The years took to flying
Like the birds outside my room
Free from any burden on the ground
When he took to drinking
Oh, then I surely knew
I needed to get far away somehow

Far away, far away
Free from any burden on the ground
Ain't no glory in this life
Being a drunk farmer′s wife
I needed to get far away somehow

Far away, far away
Prayed that my dreams might carry me
In the middle of the night
I let my dreams take flight
To carry me far away and free
Somewhere far across the sea
