Lyrics
Lonely, she roamed through the city
The buildings seemed barren and brown
She was lost in the lights of the distance
In the far-away part of town
Far away, far away
Might just as well be a star away
Over there, where she longed to be
When would she go?
What would she see?
Slowly, she walked and she wondered
The river reflected her frown
She was certain that someone was waiting
In the far-away part of town
Far away, far away
How many strangers there are away
Over there, where she longed to run
How would she know?
Who was the one?
The far away heart, the far away heart
In the far-away part of town
