Marc Cohn Far Away Nearby Lyrics

Far Away Nearby Lyrics

A little boy sits by the light of the moon
He knows that he`s lost something precious too soon
But he`s quiety singing a nursery tune
He sings for whoever may hear him

But one day he finds for whatever it`s worth
The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth
They`ll all come and go through death and rebirth
And the ones that he`s lost will be near him

Chorus:
No matter the distance they`re putting between us
Whether on earth or on high
I`ll send up a prayer, if you blow me some kisses
From the far away, nearby
Bye
Bye

So whether you`re weary or cold as a stone
Baby, maybe you`re reeling and feeling alone
But remember your sadness, well it isn`t unknown
Just think of the one`s that you`re missing (and sing)

[Chorus]

Middle 8:
You can hear them all singing and dancing
Kicking up their heels from across the divide...listen
You can hear the music playing
A calling out to someone from the other side

[Chorus to end]
