Lyrics of So Far Away by Bamboo (a Carole King original)
So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away
.
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away
One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you
But you’re so far away
You’re so far away
Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams I’ve yet to find
But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to know
It doesn’t help to know
You’re so far away

Bamboo is one of my all time pinoy bands. Wala pa atang album nila ang letdown sa akin.
Hi iRonnie,
I too listen to all music genre hindi lang masyado ng Rap.
Ok naman meeting namin ni dom…he did most of the talking kasi tahimik naman talaga ako lalo sa sa di ko pa masyadong kilala…oh well it was nice naman then I have to leave early kasi to go back to work. Meron ako post about it at may photo siya doon sa Silent Vespers site ko if you want to check it out…
Happy Sunday to you ok…thanks

i not only admire them for the good musics they play but also for the social relevance of their songs.
@REBECCA
mabuti naman and okay meeting nyo. nagkaroon kami ng konting problem sa sked ng meet-up namin with him. sana lang may chance pa to meet him before he went back to the US.
