Far Away, Nearby Lyrics - Singles - Marc Cohn

A little boy sits by the light of the moon 

He knows that he's lost something precious too soon 

But he's quiety singing a nursery tune 

He sings for whoever may hear him 

But 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: 

No matter the distance they're putting between us 

Whether on earth or on high 

I'll send up a prayer, if you blow me some kisses 

From the far away, nearby 

Bye 

Bye 

So whether you're weary or cold as a stone 

Baby, maybe you're reeling and feeling alone 

But remember your sadness, well it isn't unknown 

Just think of the one's that you're missing (and sing) 

[Chorus] 

Middle 8: 

You can hear them all singing and dancing 

Kicking up their heels from across the divide...listen 

You can hear the music playing 

A calling out to someone from the other side 

[Chorus to end]
