Stephen Duffy and the Lilac Time
So Far Away
When I was a young, young manBack in the Twentieth CenturyWell, you made your own amusements thenFlying to the MoonThe benefit of hindsightIs always black and whiteThere's always were contrasting waysTo help you through the nightFrom bright morning starTo morning SunBut they are so far awayThat I won't even ask them to stayI've been looking for a way to be trueA way out of the blueCalling but I can't get throughTo explain myself to youThe constant repetitionOf details from the pastThe painful human anguishOf why can't true love last?Whilst living in the wreckageOf all we have doneBut you are so far awaySongtexteThat I won't even ask you to stayThe day the Berlin Wall came downAnd other days forgottenNostalgia isn't what it wasFarewell then, Johnny RottenBrian Jones and Jackson PollockChairman Mao, see you later Allen GinsbergYou changed the world somehowThe times when we weren't cryingHave been funBut they are so far awayThat I won't even ask them to stayNo wayNo, I won't even ask them to stay
