Far Away - The Robert Cray Band

I looked far away

I looked way into the future

What I saw was you not here with me

And when I looked inside for an answer honey

I just knew that I had to be free

What I have to say

What I have to say I know will hurt you

After years of love

It's hard to understand

No that I'm not leaving for anyone else honey

I need to know just who I am

If it's all right with you

I'll just excuse myself

Gather up my things

Leave the keys on the shelf

I'll come back in the morning

When the kids awake

To tell them daddy had to go away

I'm going far away

Nothing lasts forever

I'm going far from where I used to be

I remember that young couple at the chapel

It all seems like a dream to me

I

I didn't know myself

Never knew myself when I met you

And even now must seem like a crime

You know that I promised to love you forever

It's just forever ran out of time

So if it's all right with you

I'll just excuse myself

I'll just gather my things

The keys are on the shelf

I'll come round in the morning

When the kids awake

Ohhh

To tell them daddy had to go away

Hmmmmmmm

I never knew myself

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Know that I wanna

Mmmmmmmm

I'm gonna walk on

Far away

Ohhh heyyyyy

Mmmmmm

Mmmm

If it's all right with you

I'll just excuse myself

I'll just gather my things

I'll leave the keys on the shelf

I'll come back in the morning

When the kids awake

To tell them that Daddy had to go away

If it's all right with you

I'll excuse myself

If it's all right with you

I'll leave the keys on the shelf

I'll come back in the morning

When the kids awake

Mmmmmmmm

To tell them that Daddy had to go away

Mmmmmm

Going far away

I need to know who I am

Heyyyyyy

Mmmmmmmmm
