Far Away

Here I sit above you

Lights shining in my face

Telling stories of my life

Sharing time and space

It makes me uncomfortable

It makes me sad to say

I am here for you

I’d rather be far away

It’s not that I don’t like you

I don’t know you at all

But here you sit enchanted

Completely within my thrall

It makes me uncomfortable 

It makes me sad to say

I am here for you

I’d rather be far away

Life holds its meaning

My job is to entertain

I am comfortable in small clubs

Where I can see everyone’s face

It’s like performing in my living room

With all my friends who care

I can feel their emotions

It makes me so aware

So you will have to forgive me

When I finish singing this song

I need to leave here

You need to move along

Thank you for this moment

Thank you for your time

See you in the clubs

I will perform there next time
