Robert Cray - Far Away lyrics

I looked far away I looked way into the future What I saw was you not here with me And when I looked inside for an answer, honey I just knew that I had to be free What I have to say What I have to say I know will hurt you After years of love It's hard to understand No, that I'm not leavin' for anyone else, honey I need to know just who I am If it's all right with you I'll just excuse myself Gather up my things Leave the keys on the shelf I'll come back in the morning When the kids awake To tell them daddy had to go away I'm going far away Nothing lasts forever I'm going far from where I used to be I remember that young couple at the chapel It all seems like a dream to me I! I didn't know myself Never knew myself when I met you And even now must seem like a crime You know that I promised to love you forever It's just forever ran out of time So if it's all right with you I'll just excuse myself I'll just gather my things The keys are on the shelf I'll come 'round in the morning When the kids awake Ohhh! To tell them daddy had to go away Hmmmmmmm I never knew myself Mmmmmmmmmmmm Know that I wanna Mmmmmmmm I'm gonna walk on Far away Ohhh, heyyyyy! Mmmmmm Mmmm If it's all right with you I'll just excuse myself I'll just gather my things I'll leave the keys on the shelf I'll come back in the morning When the kids awake To tell them that Daddy had to go away If it's all right with you I'll excuse myself If it's all right with you I'll leave the keys on the shelf I'll come back in the morning When the kids awake Mmmmmmmm To tell them that Daddy had to go away (whistling) Mmmmmm Going far away I need to know who I am Heyyyyyy! Mmmmmmmmm
