Far Away My Love Lyrics

Black and white, hold the night
In your arms and in you eyes
Take your side and leave it by
Your bedside clock, your bedside clock
I can be the kind of thief
To steal your heart, to steal your heart
Fading light brings to mind
How I love you and I love you

Darling, I have to be honest
It's nothing but empty words and promises
That I don't mean

Come around, let's follow the morning
Waiting for hummingbirds and sunny days
That I'll never see

Paralyzed, head under water
It's all of my memories, like silhouettes
Who I'd never be
So darling, I have to be honest
Your words are like razorblades and wishing wells
That I'll try to leave

Go down by the harbour
Hide away, great river
Hide away, my love

And are the stories true
Look away, great mountain
Look away, my love
And all hands pull the anchor
Sail away great vessel
Sail away my love

And will you follow me
Far away great city
Far away my love

And will you follow me
Far away great city
Far away my love

And will you follow me
Far away great city
Far away my love
