Marc Cohn — Far Away Nearby

[Verse 1] Little boy sits by the light of the moon Knows that he's lost something precious too soon And he's quietly singing a nursery tune Sings for whoever may hear him [Verse 2] Then one day he finds for whatever it's worth The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth They'll all come and go through death and rebirth And the ones that he's lost will be near him [Chorus] He says no matter the distance they put in between us Whether on earth or on high I send up a prayеr if you blow me some kisses From thе far away nearby, bye, bye [Verse 3] So whether you're weary or cold as a stone Baby, maybe you're reeling in feeling alone But remember your sadness, well it isn't unknown Just think of the ones that you're missing [Chorus] They says no matter the distance they put in between us Whether on earth or on high I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses From far away [Bridge] You can hear them all singing and dancing Kicking up their heels from across the divide Listen, you can hear the music playing Calling out to someone from the other side [Chorus] Yeah, no matter the distance they put in between us Whether on earth or on high I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses From the far away nearby, bye, bye
