- Far Away
-
- Sailing ships and pirates
- up close, yet far away.
-
- Conjured up in a cowboy's
mind
- like smoke in early May
-
- that escapes into the air
- from where it cannot stay
-
- inside a fireplace of brick
- where sits a solitary man
who reads about a place
- while beans are warmin' in the
pan
-
- and desert wind blows
constant
- like blades on a whirlin'
fan
-
- but the words, they befriend
him
- like the sun of each new
day
-
- where the sailing ships and
pirates
- are up close, yet far away
-
- when this cowboy's work is
done
- an' he's got time, 'til his next
pay.
