Dr. Lindyke - Far Away ft. Heather Zink (SHADOW)

from SpinTunes #14 Round 3 by Spintunes

	/

about

Based on "The Beautiful Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II.
This song kept wanting to be "Mack the Knife" and we finally just gave in and let it have what it wants. Then Heather gave me vocals and they were SO damn sweet.

lyrics

Everyday lately
I see you smiling
But every day's gray
When you are gone
Love's in the way
When I try to find you
It's so easy to say
When alone
And you seem far away.

A kiss was so pleasing
Early this morning
It changes the season
From cloudy to sun
Whatever the reason
I've never stopped soaring
And I'll never be leaving
As one
To lose you far away.

[chorus]
Far away
You've taken me
So far away
And if I had the choice today
I'd still choose reality
Far away
You've taken me
So far away
And I'll always stay
With you
So far away.

All of my time
Is spent trying to tell you
All that these rhymes
Just can't convey
The place isn't mine
You say to surround you
Still I can't find the line
That will say
Don't be too far away.

You try to believe
There's something about this
That will not deceive
Our open hearts
I've tried to relieve
All of your doubts with
A soft touch and ease
But there are scars
On our hearts from far away.

[chorus x2]

Yes, I will always stay
With you
So far away.
