Lyrics
How Far Away? Rick Adams 2025
How far away/ can you feel another's pain?/ Is there a range
for feeling pain?
Too many clouds/ somehow can damp the signal down
I've got to say/ The reception's clear today
If we ever touched it wasn't much/ we briefly brushed
But I remember/ Your eyes were winter
The distance only grows/ And yet I know
You're still frozen and you're only holding on
How far away...
Fast forward years/ And then I hear/ A giant tear
splash on the pavement/ To my amazement
I'm lost in thoughts of you/ Far away moved
I had assumed that all was well and all was fine
Some say thoughts and prayers are nearly worthless
Selfish lies that lead us to dismiss
It's hard to stop what built into these flesh and bones
When caring truly may be all there is
How far away...
Hey I've got to say the reception's clear today
