about

William wrote the original lyrics in 1980 or '81, and I originally had a pretty boring arrangement based on that. I picked them up and reworked them on Nov 16, 2010, as a birthday present for Denise Hudson of the band, "Duality". I think it works pretty well in their style, and the song calls attention to their long-distance working relationship. Check out their sound yourself at duality237.bandcamp.com

LYRICS
======

Every day lately
I see you smiling
But every day's gray
When you're gone
Love's in the way
When I try to find you
It's so easy to say
When alone
And you seem far away

A kiss was so pleasing
Early this morning
It changes the season
To sun
Whatever the reason
I've never stopped soaring
And I'll never be leaving
As one

For far away.
You've taken me
Oh far away
And if I had the choice today
I'd still choose Duality
And rather be
With you
So far away

All of my time
Is spent trying to tell you
All that these rhymes
Can't convey
The place isn't mine
You say to surround you
Still I can't find the line
That will say
Don't be too far away

You try to believe
There's something about this
That will not deceive
Open hearts
I've tried to relieve
All of your doubts with
A soft touch and ease
But there are scars

From far away.
You've taken me
Oh far away
And if I had the choice today
I'd still choose Duality
And rather be
With you
So far away

Far away.
You've taken me
Oh far away
And if I had the choice today
I'd still choose Duality
And rather be
With you
So far away
