lyrics

So Far Away
Looking for a life of luxury in a town filled with poverty
Employment next to none
I was told boy get a trade
There’ll be jobs for you highly paid
But of course there where none
Chorus
And it’s so far away
Some things just don’t ever change
So far away from home
And each road that we choose
They belong to me or you
And it’s so far away
My brother who trained in accountancy
Has a job in the local factory
He’s been there for about 10 years
At night we talk about our dreams
Over silent pictures from our TV screens
One day those dreams will fade away
Chorus 2
And it’s so far away
Some folk’s lives won’t ever change
So far away from home
And each road that we choose
Has been cornered off or been misused
And it’s so far away

Instrumental then Repeat Chorus 1
