An hour of this, a season of that
You'd better turn up the thermostat
'Cause you'll be sleepin' alone tonight
November whispers and shakes her fist
Leaves fall down with promises
I won't be there to dry your eyes
So please don't cry

When I'm so far away
So far away, my love
What can I do or say?
When I'm so far away

I'm lost by day and workin' all night
I read your note about the pilot light
Didn't I fix that thing before?
An extra blanket will have to do
You know I can't come home to you
Shut the windows tight, lock the door
I've seen that sky before

And I'm so far away
So far away, my love
There's nothing I can do or say
When I'm so far away
And I'm so far away
So far away, my love

A summer sun, a winter-gray moon
Read a mystery, I'll be home soon
What did you say? It's hard to hear
I miss your touch, I need your smile
Would you love a frightened child?
If I were there, if you were here
If I were near

But I'm so far away
So far away, my love
I can't hear a word you say
When I'm so far away
And I'm so far away
So far away, my love
What can I do? What can I say?
When I'm so far away
