I can reach out and touch you
But I can't keep you here
I don't want to return you
Though the choices are clear
There's a rain on my rooftop
And it's steady and cold
And a crumbled up photo
That I want to unfold
I've been down this road a million times and then
I could turn around and still be hearing it again
Your sweet good-byes as I try to close my eyes
But you're so far away, you're so far away
I want to scream ,as I close my eyes to dream
But you're so far away, you're so far away
There's a song in my head now
It's a pale shade of blue
It's a mood and a feeling
It's a memory of you
I've been down this road a million times and then
I could turn around and still be hearing it again
Your sweet good-byes as I try to close my eyes
But you're so far away, you're so far away
I want to scream ,as I close my eyes to dream
But you're so far away, you're so far away
You take me higher, way up higher
Then right back down
And all the photographs,
The edges fade and then they
Turn a shade of brown
Your sweet good-byes as I try to close my eyes
But you're so far away, you're so far away
I want to scream ,as I close my eyes to dream
But you're so far away, you're so far away
