a song for the broken hearted

I don't know why I'm into song lyrics now. Anyway, while I was riding home in a taxi, I heard this song on the radio, and it just reminded me of the times when I was broken hearted and I couldn't even bear to hear this song...mainly because the lyrics were playing in my head and punching me where it hurts the most.

Anyway, those times are over, or so I think. :) So this song is dedicated to those who've gone through heartbreak and back. And back again.

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you.

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Oh, so far away
Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away

- Carole King, "So Far Away"
