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
