From the Faraway Nearby - Marc Cohn

Little boy sits by the light of the moon

Knows that he’s lost something precious too soon

He’s quietly singing a nursery tune

Sings for whoever may hear him

Then one day he finds for whatever its worth

The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth

They’ll all come and go through death and rebirth

And the ones that he’s lost will be near him

He says no matter the distance they put in between us

Whether on earth or on high

I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses

From the faraway nearby… by… by

So whether you’re weary or cold as a stone

Baby, maybe you’re reeling in feeling alone

But remember your sadness, well it isn’t unknown

Just think of the ones that you’re missing

They says no matter the distance they put in between us

Whether on earth or on high

I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses

From faraway…

You can hear them all singing and dancing

Kicking up their heels from across the divide

Listen, you can hear the music playing

Calling out to someone from the other side

Yeah, no matter the distance they put in between us

Whether on earth or on high

I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses

From the faraway nearby… by… by
