When You're Far Away

(专辑： Visions - 1983)

I had a chance to think
Since you've been away
I've been down everything on my mind
Concerning you and I and our love
(And if it's growing)
My feelings all seem to lead back
To that same old thought
That is "I love you and I really can't do without you"
But when you're gone, sometimes I feel like loving another

When you're far away
I can't get close to you
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
I love you boy, I need you here
Come close to me
(Want you baby, won't you stay here with me)

My love for you is strong
But it can't make up for the distance
That you put between us when you leave
Each time you go
I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you
Life is much too short
To be waiting around for you to be with me
Don't you understand that I want you
(And I know that you want me)
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings

When you're far away
I can't get close to you
When you're far away
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
To love me boy, I need you here

When you're far away
When you're far away
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
To love me boy, I need you here

When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away

My love for you is strong
But it can't make up for the distance
That you put between us when you leave
Each time you go
I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you
Life is much too short
To be waiting around for you to be with me
Don't you understand that I want you
(And I know that you want me)
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings

When you're far away
(When you're far away)
When you're far away
(When you're far away)
When you're far away
No one else around
(When you're far away)
I want you boy, I need you here
Ooh, come close to me
