Far Away

If, again, you wander,
If too soon again you wander
Far away,far away…
Let this, too, be with you,
An old tune somewhere within you-
Far away, far away…
Falling through the autumn evening,
Every darkened street.
Calling to forgotten feeling,
The passing ghosts and scattered leaves,
If, again, you love him,
If too soon again, you love him-
Far away, far away…
Let this, too, be with him,
Humming smoothly when you kiss him-
Far away, far away…
Haunting all the talk, and stalling
Every hope of sleep.
Calling to some distant longing,
Another soul within your sheets…
If, someday, you love me,
If in truth, some day, you love me,
Far away, far away…
Let the words within you
Whisper to you how I miss you,
Far away, far away…
For if, some day, I wander,
Then too soon, I too will wander
Far away, far away…
Far away… Far away… Far away…
Calling to your heart, and stealing
All the want away…
