Smoking cigarettes on the deck again Don't know if I can do it Something makes me want to Start again with someone special Something makes me scared Don't know what I'm afraid of And the moon shines high over the city Only the hills get in the way And the orchestra of birds is overwhelming And you You're not so far away Not so far away Watched the screen tonight till it flickered Never trust computers They die when you don't want them to You never know love until you're in it Creeps up unawares It's unexpected till you're there And the dawn breaks high over the horizon like a painting And the lonesome train bells cry And the streets themselves are singing while you're sleeping And you You're not so far away You're not so far away ♪ Not so far away Let's get it on Clapped-out government let us down again Don't know if I can face it This daily news survival I wanna start again with someone special Something makes me scared Don't know what I'm afraid of And the morning comes like the postman it's unpredictable I long for European sky And the church bells are silent 'Cause no one is really listening And the icons have tears in their eyes And you're so real with your coffee and your cigarettes And your Mediterranean eyes Come and enclose me Roll over and unfold me I gotta realise You're not so far away Not so far away
