  • Here I am again in this mean old town
    And you're so far away from me
    And where are you when the sun go down?
    You're so far away from me

    You're so far away from me
    You're so far I just can't see
    You're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me, alright

    I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
    When you're so far away from me
    I'm tired of making out on the telephone
    'Cause you're so far away from me

    You're so far away from me
    You're so far I just can't see
    You're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me, alright

    And I get so tired when I have to explain
    When you're so far away from me
    See, you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
    And you're so far away from me

    You're so far away from me
    You're so far I just can't see
    You're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me, take it down

    You're so far away from me
    You're so far
    Oh, you're so far away from me
    Yeah, you're so far away from me
    So far away from me
    You're so far
    And you're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me
    You're so far

    You're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me
    You're so far away from me
    So, so far away from me
    You're so far
    You're so far away from me
    Yeah, you're so far away from me
    You're so far
    Right, you're so far
    You're just so far away from me Writer/s: Mark Knopfler

  • Eric from Beaverton, OrThis was always one of my favorite Dire Straits songs - but only in the last few years has this song started to make me think of long-distance relationships.
