Lyrics Far Away - Anne Buckle, Wildwood

Far Away

Everybody’s taking sides
And I don’t understand why
It’s too much for this heart
To take any more
Society is caving in
Nobody is listening
And I don’t want to take part
In this civil war
So I get lost in book
On the screened in porch
In the backyard
Listening to the pouring rain
A Tale of Two Cities
Helps me forget it all
And carries me miles away
When I need an escape
From the chaos of these days
I open up the pages and let them
Take me to another place
Far away / When I turn the page
I’m dreaming of anothr time
I’m reading in between th lines
So I let the ink
Sink into my mind
So I get lost in book
On the screened in porch
In the backyard
Listening to the pouring rain
A Tale of Two Cities
Helps me forget it all
And carries me miles away
When I need an escape
From the chaos of these days
I open up the pages and let them
Take me to another place
Far away / When I turn the page
You can call me a coward
Or a pacifist
But I refuse to fight
Because in the end
Only love will win
And all our differences
Of opinions
Will be unpinned
But until then
So I get lost in book
On the screened in porch
In the backyard
Listening to the pouring rain
A Tale of Two Cities
Helps me forget it all
And carries me miles away
When I need an escape
From the chaos of these days
I open up the pages and let them
Take me to another place
Far away / When I turn the page
