    Too Far Away
    raprite says (01 Feb '13)

    Too far away

    Heard something in the wind today
    Whispering to me, you’re too far away
    Momma’s praying again, happens that way
    Come home son to where you belong
    Come home son your too far away

    Sometimes in my life, as I’ve traveled along
    Felt something pulling me, the feeling is strong
    Felt something tell me, you’re not where you belong
    Most times ignore it, keep traveling on

    Chorus

    Too far away
    Didn’t seem like a bad idea then
    To far away
    Didn’t seem that far when
    You could always drop in
    You were too far away, so you didn’t
    Too far away, damn I sure miss them
    Chorus End

    Go back on Christmas to visit with them
    Seemed somehow you no longer fit in
    Their conversations couldn’t get in
    Been too far away, for too long
    Can’t be the same, the past turning dim

    I’m old now, made my new home
    Can’t go back there, too much times gone
    Sit on the porch, tell my Grandson
    How I wish I’d had time for my Dad and my Mom
    Too far away, you missed it, times gone
    Too far away, for too long
    Too far away, now the times gone

    Chorus

Nice. You never cease to amaze me. Awesome and so true. You can always tell when someone writes from inside. Just like Kid says, if its real, they'll feel it.
