So Far Away Carole King Written by Carole King Peaked at # 14 in 1971 Features James Taylor on acoustic guitar 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 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, 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 you're so far away Yay-uh-ay-eee Oh, 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 Yet so many dreams I've yet to fin-ind 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 you're so far away Yay-uh-ay-eee Oh, so far away Yay, you're so faaaaaar away
