The Faraway Nearby

Performed by Cyndi Lauper, music by Cyndi Lauper, Tom Gray. Note from the transcriptor: there're some differences between the booklet words (inside "{ }") and what is actually sung and presented here.


*   Out in the faraway nearby  
can you hear me call? {can you hear my call?}
out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
till you're here to stay
out from the faraway

Hot looks, cold words,
don't know what it is you heard
but I didn't mean it,
if I said something wrong
oo, short nights, long dreams
something happens in between
then a weird feeling,
like you're here
but still you're gone
.. oo, heart beats
like a knock on the door
but it sounds so faraway

In the faraway nearby
can you hear me call? {can you hear my call?}

out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
till you're here to stay
out from the faraway

Big whisper, small scream
but it's not like what it seems
locked up in the open
don't know which way to go
deserts, oceans
leaving footprints in the sand
hoping that you'll see them
and wishing you'd follow
.. and walk with me
hand in hand, ya-ha
and talk, too {and talk with me}
you got a plan, ah-ha
and hold me, and hold me
don't stop, don't stop...

[repeat *]

oo, heart beats
like a knock on the door, yeah-ha
back from the faraway

in the faraway nearby
can you hear me call? {can you hear my call?}

out in the faraway
