Far Away Lyrics

If I oar the deepest ocean

And get lost in troubled seas

If a storm breaks upon me

Will you keep my float at ease

If I'm lying sick and weary

And my fever swiftly grows

When I'm strewn across my deathbed

Will you come and fix my woes

Strung on sweet emotion

Drowning to my knees

When my heart's devotion is far away from me

If I have to leave tomorrow

And I'm gone for six long years

Would you bide the pain and sorrow

Till I wash off your drying tears

If I wrote a song about you

And the words evaded me

Could I tell you that I love you

Without rhyme or melody

Strung on sweet emotion

Drowning to my knees

When my heart's devotion is far away from me
