Far Away Lyrics - Martha Wainwright - Martha Wainwright

Far away 

In some lovely way I hear your call 

Whatever happened to them all? 

Whatever happened to us all? 

I know that we've never met before 

But that was then, and now I need you more 

Is someone here keeping the score? 

Is there only dying at your door? 

Taking me down off this cross 

Lay me down, down, down in the dust 

Whoa, love, take my hand across the crowd 

I have been digging underground 

What'er remains is yet to be found 

I have no children 

I have no husband 

I have no reason 

To be alive 

Oh, give me one 

Green grass blades are all on fire 

I own the crack that's in the wind 

From your window I see bars and the birds 

They sing and they sing and they sing and they sing 

And the dogs 

They bark and they bark and they bark and they bark and they bark 

Whatever happened to them all? 

Whatever happened to us all?
