So Far Away -

Sad it’s all over, sad it’s all over

Sad it’s all over, so glad to see you again

So glad to see your face in the clouds

High in the sky floating over the crowds

Can’t take no more of that dry waiting game

Dying to fly with you over again

Arms outstretched and we’re ready to soar

Terrestrial nightmares don’t hurt anymore

Leave all our troubles behind as we climb

Safe in the knowledge that we’ve escaped time

The others will see as we fly overhead

We’ll laugh until nightfall pretend that we’re dead

As angels we’ll watch them our thoughts reading theirs

True mind over matter we’ll share in their cares

Heads on their shoulders, we’ll help them, unseen

Comfort encircled;

the slate is wiped clean

They’ll leave all their troubles behind as they rise

Safe in their ascent to paradise

The air is so fresh and the sky is so blue

A mantle to wrap all around me and you

To warm and to cool to protect us from all

To hold us up high and to catch when we fall

No sorrow, no sadness affects us today

Our tears of the past are now so far away

A smile sparkles white as we laugh and we rave

So close to the crest of a heavenly wave
